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.

naming all controls like textBox85

I wish Microsoft had made it easy (if not default) to have VS ask the name of new objects being created, especially since the text field will get initialized to the default name (so even if the name and text field should be the same, both will have to be keyed in).

BTW, any recommendations for the best plug-in for 2005 and 2008 to fix that?
