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.

Link fail.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I had this happen the other day.
Notice that it mentions csc.exe (csharp compiler)?

Well, I built my ASP.NET MVC 5 based web site using Community 2015 the other day and somehow some setting got set in the web.config and I got the same problem.
Something happened where the web.config had a setting to use the new Roslyn compiler and my web site blew up just like this.
Only after a while of digging through the web.config did I find the annoying setting in there related to the new compiler which caused the error.

I blame Visual Studio!!! Big Grin | :-D

Well, if you're going to get serious about what I posted, I blame a lack of testing and/or a proper testing environment. I blame a lack of a properly planned and executed deployment plan.

At work, I run two test environments. One for functionality testing by the team I'm on and another for deployment testing. My production environment is backed up every night, the site content, code, databases, ..., everything. I can restore it to either of my testing environments at will and do my deployment then make damn sure my updated site runs properly before I deploy to production.

Even then, production runs on a set of virtual machines. Before deployment, all backups are forced to run and verified, the VM's get shut down, snapshotted and restarted in a carefully planned and executed deployment plan. (Yes, I can shutdown half of my servers without affecting production.) I then test the old production site for functionality to make sure I'm not introducing a problem before deployment. When that passes, I deploy and test the crap out of the update before the machines are put back into production, again, as part of a carefully planned and executed deployment plan.

And that's just the site that runs and tracks my teams entire process! A good friend I work with and myself wrote the site and continue to do maintenance and feature-add on it.

We never have problems like this because we make damn sure we never have problems like this. Even Microsoft releasing a bad patch isn't a problem for us because we put them through the same testing as our site updates go through and it takes a lot of testing, more testing, deployment testing and more deployment testing to be considered for deployment to production.

This is what we get paid to do and we do it. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Oh, I didn't mean to be serious.
I mostly thought it was an interesting error, because I had built and deployed the (minor) ASP.NET MVC 5 content on previous days and it worked fine.

Next, I went back and built it again and that odd Roslyn compiler thing creeped into my web.config and I didn't know why or how but it made the site crash like that.

Yes, proper work methodology is always important for deploying real code. Agree 100%

We have a pretty large virtual infrastructure here backed by a massive storage system. I can get any number of servers I need built and spun up in a day, so long as I have a business case for it.

I've worked at a lot of places and this is the largest virtual system I've seen, short of Azure.

It's not an issue with having multiple loaded copies, that class is specified in two completely DIFFERENT DLLs. Same namespace and everything.

That is real DLL hell.

DataView.RowFilter considered harmful..

..for performance.

I dug up an ETL-method from my .NET-dark ages because I needed it again and in general it's working fine. Just a bit slow. Because there's a lot of transformational stuff going on I first thought that there's just no way around that and considered implementing a nice progress indication for the user that actually delivers on its "remaining time" estimation.

To be able to identify which "atomic parts" of the transformation require how much time I re-arranged the code so that steps which happened in a nested fashion now execute one after another. And to my surprise the transformation which I suspected to be the most time consuming one wasn't! Instead it was a step inside that one which now revealed its awful performance and on closer inspection it boiled down to using DataView.RowFilter, which, I assume, I used because there was no LINQ at the time and I couldn't be bothered to write some loops, assuming that .RowFilter wouldn't be THAT bad. But it is.

Replacing this:

treeView.RowFilter = String.Format("ParentID={0} AND {1}<>{0}", parentId, idColumnName);

(and the code that relies on it) with this:

Dictionary<int, HashSet<int>> itemsByParentId = treeTable.AsEnumerable()
    .Select(row => new { parentId = row.Field<int>[parentIdColIdx], itemId = row.Field<int>[itemIdColIdx] })
    .Where(x => x.parentId != x.itemId)
    .GroupBy(x => x.parentId)
    .ToDictionary(grp => grp.Key, grp => new HashSet<int>(grp.Select(x => x.itemId)));

(and code that uses it instead) cut down the time for the whole ETL-process from 26 minutes to 2 minutes...

They could mix some of JS in for good measure - especially the bits that get turned off by strict.

1. For dynamic websites, you can use Visual studio web development tool[^]. You can also do static sites as well.
2. For static websites Adoba Dreamwiver[^] is good. You can also find free template here Free Dreamweaver Templates and Website Templates[^]. You can also do dynamic sites as well.
3. If you are looking for more, Google has lot of result here. Let me google that for you[^].
4. For simple site and content editing you also use sublime [^] tool.

BTW you are in a wrong forum. There is no "Weird and Wonderful" in your content. Well, Unless you think using notepad is kind of weird which I don't.

When a DataSet.Tables.Count != 0 is BAD !

That's pretty good for just using notepad.
