For when the same situation you described, except one of the following happens:

You forgot to write, or uncomment, the one line that calls the new code;

You are calling the new code and it's working perfectly, but you forgot to assign the returned value to its rightful variable.

Code Assist?
Compile as you type?
At least modern IDEs make it really hard to save code that is not compile time ready.

We did have one rookie that would accept every suggestion that the quick fixes offered... that code had all kinds of strange methods in places where it did not make sense and code that compiled but was unreachable or would throw all kinds of runtime errors. We were still finding bugs in that code four years later.

I've done this too using the
try
{
InguaralObject.FirstRun();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}

It works every time!

First, congratulations on a job well done!

Archimedes had the perfect word centuries ago.

Eureka - the sudden, unexpected realization of the solution to a problem.

You coded a solution to a problem - it ran the first time -- an unexpected realization.

Eureka!!!!! Big Grin | :-D

Woaw, working 8 hours ...
... in a row without any intermediate point to see whether the code will work
... and ending the session with a run that you expect to crash and to debug

that is really too much for me, now that I'm used to 5 mins cycles with refactoring and TDD
I'm not amazed but sorry for you Frown | :-(

That's kind of like being frustrated that when you take you car in for an engine change they can't take the car around the block every half hour to make sure it still works. Sometimes changes can be big.

Kind of scary how easily PayPal and GoDaddy give out your personal information:

Isn't this aiding and abetting a crime on the part of PayPal and GoDaddy?
