The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

- It forces the developer to be explicit about what he's doing - always a good thing.
- Types with identical names can occur in more than one namespace. With using you can distinguish them properly.
(Take for example System.Windows.Forms.Timer vs. System.Threading.Timer...).


I think you have that backward.
