I can't tell from what is shown.
Is file a string, and BDTline opening said file?
or is file some kind of object (say a StreamReader), that has the file opened earlier on, and parses/returns a single line?
|
|
|
|

It breaks out of the loop with the first exception encountered, which is typically a System.IO.EndOfStreamException because the last line from which is read is always empty. And the normal way to leave that loop is exactly this exception. Every file read will cause three such lines in the log file (later on, the file is read another two times - it is certain that it has not changed between reads...). The next file causing another three lines in the log, and so on. When searching for the cause of a different error I was severely mislead by these messages.

This looks bad pratice to me, to break loop on exception, rather then actually detecting and comparing EOF character.

Simply bad design and very poor naming conventions.
1) Call things what they are, nothing more, nothing less.
Class BDTLine should be BDTFile
line should be lines
.Read method should be .ReadLine (or should it be ReadBytes?)
Now when you look at the code you can see why it is loaded with problems.
2) BDTFile is an implementation nightmare for you or anyone else in the future.
2a) If the caller manages the loop, the class must expose a property to determine when to stop.
<br />
public bool EOF { <br />
get { return sr.Peek > -1; }
}<br />
<br />
_eof=((input=sr.ReadLine())==null)<br />
get { return _eof; }
2b) if the class manages the loop, either pass the lines reference or return the desired result from the Read method.
3) Finally there is no excuse for using do...while(true), period.

Maybe it's just me, but using code that could cause an exception would mean that I'd rewrite it to not cause an exception. Why wouldn't you just do something like:
try
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt");
string data = sr.ReadToEnd();
string[] lines = data.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

A couple of years back I had a chap working in my team who knew various .Net specifics but didn't really seem to understand programming at all. He produced various pieces of "interesting" code but this was his finest hour:
bool moreThanOneModelTypes = (vehicle.PossibleTypes.Length > 1);
switch (moreThanOneModelTypes)
{
case true:
this.ddlVehicleFullModelType.Items.Add(new ListItem("- - - please select - - -", "-1"));
goto default;
case false:
goto default;
default:
foreach (VehicleType vehicleType in vehicle.PossibleTypes)
{
this.ddlVehicleFullModelType.Items.Add(new ListItem(vehicleType.DisplayName, vehicleType.Id));
}
_fullVehicleModelTypeReload = false;
break;
}
So that's a single-line if statement replaced with a multi-line switch, plus some gotos for good measure all because he got bored of if..else.

The default in this is surely a marsterwork par excellance. I must have been misinformed, boolean=true|false|maybe.

I have to ask - was there ever a case in which the default clause executed? Did the author honestly expect it to?

While that code snippet may indeed produce the desired effect it is one of the most convoluted ways I have seen of doing a simple task. See my sig.

Okay, hello Coding Horrors!!! A while ago I stumbled upon this delightful piece of code, which appears in a much larger monster that is (thankfully) obsolete. This loop also has a number of shorter variants covering the case of 7, 6, 5, 4 etc cameras. It cracked me up in any case, and I'd like to share it. To this day, I haven't worked out whether the person who wrote it was a fool, a genius, or both!
Enjoy =)

The for() loops seem a rather verbose way of generating all 37,442,160 combinations of 15 pairs chosen from 28, but I wouldn't say they're necessarily horrible. If it is indeed necessary to enumerate all the combinations, nested 'for' loops seem a verbose but time-efficient way to do it. The w1..w15 calculations seem icky, though. Much better to compute the sum of dis1..dis15, and subtract one item from that computation.

Seems like a classic case for recursion to me...but I'm too tired to both trying to code it now...

Auch! It is terrible. I'm sure this can be reduced to a O(n^2) complexity with a smart algorithm and some precalculations/caching. If not, a simple recursive method can do it.

Below is an HTML file. Try to guess which DIV will be invisible in IE, then scroll down to see why...
<html>
<head>
<title>WTF</title>
<style type="text/css">
div
{
filter: alpha(opacity = 100);
border-color: Green;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="background-color: #020509;"></div>
<div style="background-color: #02050A;"></div>
<div style="background-color: #02050B;"></div>
</body>
</html>
The middle DIV will be transparent because any element with the color #02050A that also has the filter set to an opacity (even if fully opaque) will appear transparent in IE8 (and probably other versions of IE).
