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.

Unless you're talking about a really old (.NET 1) version of the compiler, this is translated internally into the following il:
il
.field private static literal string SQL = string('SELECT   ID,   NAME,   BIRTHDAY FROM   TABLE WHERE   NAME LIKE @PARAM')
As you can see, there's no concatenation in there at all.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.
