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.

My point is that the instructions in the SO post, which version of C# am I using - Stack Overflow, which I forgot to cite, imply that it's in the general help message displayed when you pass the compiler "/?" to display the general help message. While that command yields lots of useful tidbits, you must amplify it a bit to get the list of supported C# language versions.

Nevertheless, your reply called to my attention something which I hadn't noticed, which is that the default version in my installation is 7.0, not 7.3, as at first appeared to be the case. Thanks for the additional tidbits about how to override that.

Of the four ways mentioned, the one that calls to me is the properties file, since that supports overriding all sorts of default values for every project. Though I haven't dug into the global property sheets for C#, I've made extensive changes to my C++ settings.
