I remember the argument not so long ago about how outdated the concept of coding standards are. This is one of the standards that I believe is key to any project. Any if, while and for must use braces, even if executing only one statement.

One of the few places where VB.NET have got better syntax though, forcing you to add the End If, End While or Next... Wink | ;)
