A Find and Replace gone crazy?

Probably didn't realize he could do
ddl_Operator.DataTextField = ("description").ToString() ;
nor even that the parentheses are extraneous.
|
|

|

And why not simply
ddl_Operator.DataTextField = "description"; ?
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'.
I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

Well, sure, but then there's no fame and glory.

Not technically a real horror, but I just did something that looks darn scary:
return string.Format(string.Format("{{0:{0}}}", exportField.FormatString), exportField.Value);

Is it code obfuscation?
So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything.
I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

by name? Probably not.
by value? Obviously.... it violates the Thirty Second Rule (a single line of code shouldn't take that long to parse in your head)
Wirth would be proud.

Ummmm
List<vartiklcjenik> tablica = dc.vArtiklCjeniks.Where(sg => sg.StrankaID == s.StrankaID || (sg.StrankaID == null && dc.vArtiklCjeniks.Where(sg1 => sg1.ArtiklID == sg.ArtiklID && sg1.StrankaID == s.StrankaID).Count() == 0)).ToList();
How about that? Does this qualify as coding horror?

Why didn't you do it this way:
return string.Format(exportField.FormatString, exportField.Value);

The format string for the export column doesn't contain the indexer for the composite format, i.e., I need "{0:0000.0000}" as a composite format, but the format string for the column doesn't care that it is format item with index 0, and is just "0000.0000".

I found this in one of my older projects:
if (DateTime.TryParse(TB_BuildYear.Text, out buildYear))
buildYear = buildYear;
else
error += "The build year you have entered is invalid\r\n";
One of these cases where not just using the variable but checking the value would have been better.
Alternatively I could have used empty curly brackets instead.

|
|
|
if (!DateTime.TryParse(TB_BuildYear.Text, out buildYear))
error += "The build year you have entered is invalid\r\n";
You mean this?

maybe it's like... you just want to be sure 
(yes|no|maybe)*

This is some old code I wrote...old as in 2 days old 
XmlDocument config = new XmlDocument();
config.LoadXml(new StreamReader(Application.ExecutablePath + ".config").ReadToEnd());
string connection = config.ChildNodes[1].ChildNodes[1].ChildNodes[0].Attributes["connectionString"].InnerText;
I dunno, app.config seems to hate me. No matter what I try, no matter how many tutorials I read, it never works.

Post this in the correct forum and I can help (hint: namespaces)
But in the meantime PLEASE do some checks on return values in each step. My eyes are watering just looking at it.

That doesn't forgive you the responsibility of becoming familiar with the rules before you start posting.
