Maybe there was a requirement to not use const?
|
|
|
|

No, the requirement was to create a public get/set property named Value2 for a private field named value2 and to use that property to set value2 to a value of 10 - but from outside the containing class..

I'm surprised this code compiles, as there is a circular reference in the getter.

Sadly, its 3rd party code I have to interface to.
It kinda works, but  !
(At least it works 'til it fails horribly, when someone calls a function with one too many parameters, when it fail ungracefully)

Kind of you to start the list for us.

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.
