Ah, but this way there's a nice little hack brewing. Modify the parameters in some ASM code mid-execution, and you can invoke multiple segments of code. That way, there's two operating modes built in - cracker and normal user. Crackers can have super-special zero-bug privileges, while normal users can get walloped with the bug-hammer
Of course, a nice little service running in the background on the target machines can do this automatically. Maybe a clause can be put in which stops modifying the code if certain packets are received. Grumpy, abusive user gets bugs, rich user with lots of contacts gets fewer

You would delete the auto-generated code anyway wouldn't you?
Actually isn't there a file (or files) that contain such things and you can change them there?

Of course, I can change the code, the same way you would change the code on all the horrors published here. Isn't this forum to publish horrors you find over there?
I think this is a reply horror.

This might not be a horror at all.
Maybe it's intended this way (I don't know as I never used a Pocket PC).
If the user presses multiple directions, several ifs are true and the code for each of them should be executed.
Otherwise diagonal directions would be impossible because it would accept only a single directional key at once.

...yes, thatwould be true

Even if multiple keys where able to be captured at the same time, using many == will not be a solution.
After all, if the keys where combined using the | operator, as happens with flags, the right way to check the values will be using: if ((parameter & condition) == condition) or if ((parameter & condition) != 0)
But that's not the case with keys. So, this is an ugly code (but not an horror in my opinion).

I think my VS is broken or something.
I get an error for not writing a return after a catch block.
The method in question:
private bool ReadIni()
{
try
{
[do stuff]
if ([error string != "" || string array with file content == null])
{
[return false; among other things]
}
else
{
[return true; among other things]
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
[display error message]
}
return false
}

This is not an error at all...
If an exception would occur in the if-condition, the resulting control flow would be without any return statement. So the compiler error is nothing but correct. No broken VS, just malformed code...

Why wouldnt you return something from the function declared
private bool ReadIni();
|
|
|
|
|
My guess is that you then can do something like:
if (ReadIni())
{
}
else
{
}

to validate the if statement the funtion WOULD return a bool type......
which was my point
WTF is going on here

Code similar to this would produce a warning in VC++ that not all execution paths have a return statement. In the catch block, there's the possibility the code could continue past the catch block, thus reaching the end of the function, so it'd look as if the function didn't have a return statement at the end for a function with a return time other than void.

As I said, a horropr made by me.
I just realized that it has to be this way.
I guess that's what ages opf windows forms programming with only void methods can do to you, you forget the basics of functions.

Nothing horrible like using enums or flags as case values, no, we preserve the whole JOIN clause,
as issued from some vile marriage between combo box and literals.
Yes, the strSQLJOIN value is chosen as a SelectedValue of a combo!
There are eight cases, this being the last. The first only includes Level1.
switch (strSQLJOIN)
{
.
.
case "LEFT JOIN Extensions ON CallRecords.Ext_ID = Extensions.Ext_ID LEFT JOIN Level1 ON Extensions.LevUp_ID = Level1.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level2 ON Level1.LevUp_ID = Level2.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level3 ON Level2.LevUp_ID = Level3.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level4 ON Level3.LevUp_ID = Level4.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level5 ON Level4.LevUp_ID = Level5.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level6 ON Level5.LevUp_ID = Level6.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level7 ON Level6.LevUp_ID = Level7.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level8 ON Level7.LevUp_ID = Level8.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN CAT ON CallRecords.Cat_ID = CAT.Cat_ID ":
detailSelectList = "select Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level8.LevelCode, Level8.LevelName, ";
strSQLGROUPandORDER = "GROUP BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level8.LevelCode, Level8.LevelName ORDER BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level8.LevelCode, Level8.LevelName;";
break;

Well, that is what you can get when applying the principles of self-documenting code.

I have to say that is the worst switch statement that I have ever seen and I have seen some pretty bad ones

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

What about the other case statements?

OK, that was the last one, here are the first two.. You should be able to infer the rest.
case "LEFT JOIN Extensions ON CallRecords.Ext_ID = Extensions.Ext_ID LEFT JOIN Level1 ON Extensions.LevUp_ID = Level1.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN CAT ON CallRecords.Cat_ID = CAT.Cat_ID ":
strSQL = strSQL + "Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level1.LevelCode, Level1.LevelName, ";
strSQLGROUPandORDER = "GROUP BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level1.LevelCode, Level1.LevelName ORDER BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level1.LevelCode, Level1.LevelName;";
break;
case "LEFT JOIN Extensions ON CallRecords.Ext_ID = Extensions.Ext_ID LEFT JOIN Level1 ON Extensions.LevUp_ID = Level1.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN Level2 ON Level1.LevUp_ID = Level2.Lev_ID LEFT JOIN CAT ON CallRecords.Cat_ID = CAT.Cat_ID ":
strSQL = strSQL + "Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level2.LevelCode, Level2.LevelName, ";
strSQLGROUPandORDER = "GROUP BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level2.LevelCode, Level2.LevelName ORDER BY Sites.SiteName, Sites.ReportCentre, Level2.LevelCode, Level2.LevelName;";
break;

I see, mmm...
Really the original programmer should have foreseen the problem and use Emit to dynamically generate/compile a method for an ever increasing number of case!
