I had to highlight that - at a casual glance it looks just like VB6 code, which is a WTF in itself.

I was just about to comment that is looks more as VB6 then VB.NET
It is a terrible, terrible mess of VB6 programmer(s) trying to cross over

But why would you want to do something like that?

I'm trying real hard to take it to the next level and be language atheist, but its not working out to well so far.

I love VB.NET and I love C#.
I'm trying to love JavaScript, but it just gives me so much reasons to hate it...
I really hate HTML and CSS and I'm past the points where I'd like to like it. They're not programming languages anyway.
Each language you know makes learning another language easier.
Try to look past the language specific part and see how your knowledge about some language can be applied to other languages

"Each language you know makes learning another language easier."
Don't know, after a point if you keep learning similar (read imperative, OO) languages you reach a point where you pick up another one quickly, but you'll still have a certain time. Normally its libraries/frameworks which take most time. Especially for JavaScript where there seems to a new framework every day.
To really push yourself step outside the comfort zone. Try a functional language (A LISP variant and Haskell are particular good for going outside the comfort zone). Try a real OO language like Smalltalk. That kind of difference changes the whole way you think about programming.

Even the JavaScript frameworks look similar after a while. Once you know what they do it's relatively easy to find how they do it. Usually there are some HTML bindings, some viewModel thingy, etc.
I know C#, VB(.NET), SQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, LESS, some Haskell, F#, and Java, and I've read other languages like Lisp, Ada, C, C++, and Cobol.
I should try a non-managed language some time, and I mean really working with it.
Learning new languages can be fun, it's just a little useless if you can't really use it in day to day life 
Although learning Haskell and F# did make me a better C# programmer.

Yuck! That reads like FORTRAN 66 was the author's first programming language.

"'Raise<ActualName>Event' ... Why do you use such a strange name for an event?"
"I follow Microsoft Guidelines. They use such naming. I found it on their website."
"If you happen to find that page again, please send me a link."
Joseph did not hesitate. He opened Google, entered some search terms, looked at some results.
"Here it is: How to: Publish Events that Conform to .NET Framework Guidelines (C# Programming Guide)[^]".
And really, that's what Microsoft did in that article:
Microsoft wrote:
public event EventHandler<CustomEventArgs> RaiseCustomEvent;
And then Joseph thought that's how events ought to be named: start with "Raise", add the actual name, then add "Event"...
Thank you, Microsoft.

Let's hope he never looks into the .NET source or else he might come up with many more fantastic MS naming "conventions"

No, its totally correct - he's defining an event that is raised when a custom event is raised; totally legit

What...[^]

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???

At my company we're using a third party web based survey application.
A function for one of our surveys is that the respondent can download a pdf containing all the responses for archiving purposes.
If we add a tooltip with more than 512 characters to any of the questions, the pdf turns brown! 
|
|
|
|
|
A tooltip is not documentation.
If it doesn't fit in a single sentence, it is too long.
TL,DR; no.

The customer is a government agency.
We've already pointed that out. 
|
|
|
|
|
Same rules apply, even if it was the Queen.
The limit is not there to annoy the customer, but because a long tooltip is ineffective. Tell them they need help and that you can provide it (at a certain fee).
As they do need help.
