The following code I found some developer used very often. I just wonder might he loves to run getStatus twice to make sure his code executed perfect.
if(GetStatus(id) != "")
string status = GetStatus(id);
private string GetStatus(int recordId)
{
string s = "";
//First, use ADO.NET to get the Status of this recordId
//Then, assign the status to a string.
if(//Check to make sure there is data and not DB null)
s = //The data;
//Finally, return the string
return s;
}

It is an ambitious way to save a memory variable that people succumb to a bad performance of an application by calling a lengthier function twice or more.

That is a race just waiting to happen!!! In C# I try not to use an 'is' followed by a cast for the same reason. The following code reads so much nicer:
Bar bar = o as Bar;
if(bar != null)
{
}
than this:
if(o is Bar && !object.ReferenceEquals(o, null))
{
}

I wrote this at 4AM the other morning :S I'm a little embarrassed. But it's still doing it's bit in my program.
for(int y = 0; y < bmp.biHeight; y=y+3){
for(int x = 0; x < bmp.biWidth; x=x+3){
for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++){
int yp=0, xp=0;
get_pixel(x+xp,y+yp,blank[i]);
if(xp<3)
xp++;
else{
xp = 0;
yp++;
}}
avg(blank, Merge, 9);
set_pixel(x,y,Merge);
for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++){
blank[i].rgbtBlue=0;
blank[i].rgbtGreen=0;
blank[i].rgbtRed=0;
}
clear_pixel(Merge);
yp=0, xp=0;
}}

Did I miss something? isn't:
yp=0, xp=0;
out of scope?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that was an error I have since fixed. long xp=0, yp=0 was defined before this segment. Only after did I realise I had 'int'ed them.
"Sir, I protest. I am NOT a merry man!"
|
|

|

Did you also realize that you haven't 'int'ed them, you actually have 2 new variables defined in the scope of the inner loop? :-P the long ones are only being assigned 0 every time that loop executes and thats it.
Scope is a wonderful thing, but it can also come back to bite you if you aren't careful.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes... that was the error I fixed.

How fast does that run? in my experience using GetPixel and SetPixel are extremely slow
|
|
|
|
|
Fast enough that changing it would have no observable change.
But then, that may just be the fruits of overclocking.

I can't even be assed looking at code formatted like that – incomprehensible! The first thing I do at work when I encounter rubbish like that is re-format it.

Nothing too bad there. One of the most "elegant" pieces of code I wrote in college was done after pounding down a fifth of tequila It was an amazing piece of work that worked very well.

It seems the author doesn't know foreach . Nor how to cast.

That's just the start, it gets better. Check out the using statements and where the objects are going.

People like to make things hard for themselves. What was this guy smoking when he was coding? My thoughts are that he's an ex-C++ programming who landed a C# project.
Looks like this is part of the BO layer that works with multiple databases (db) that contains exchange rates. The database pointer is passed down to the data access layer, data is retrieved and parsed into a simple list and returned to the caller.
Not exactly an efficient way of doing it...
Am I close?
|
|
|
|
|
You're close. It's very similar to a common error new C++ developers make, and is something that garbage collection is supposed to fix, but they've managed to do it in C#. Think about the lifetime of the objects created in the loop and the using statement.

Yeah... Trying to return data that's already expired! Nice one... lol
|
|

Yeah, since the dispose method closes database connections, then just wrap the object in a using and it will be automatically closed.
They cut and pasted a standard dispose method including the check that it only runs once, so you can only close the database connection once, which is only an issue when you save one of the objects.

I don't understand .Net memory management myself... I seriously think a delete operator wouldnt hurt. Why is there a new and no delete ? I don't blame this guy for making mistakes, at least his code is well formatted. I work on VB code that looks like it was written by monkies in a scientific experiment.

so,
for(int i=0; i<source.length;> {
result[i] = source[i];
source[i].~object();
result[i].~object();
}
return result;
Makes sense to you?
