My guess is that there are several IT departments where I work scrambling to find a replacement.
I can already hear a director asking, "Is there any way we can get a copy of the codebase to maintain our own internal version of ICQ?"

Another small rant, two-for-one.
1) Debugging console applications with parameters is painful.
I need to test against all the possible combinations of arguments, can't do it properly though, need to pass through the debug options... which are persistent.
And the console does not stay open (yes the checkbox is unchecked, also ignored by VS).
And the breakpoint after the parsing moves the focus to the VS window hiding the Command prompt.
Every test is a clickity-clickity-typety-clickity-clickity-clickity-clickity-clak.
![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you Microsoft.
2) Structures in watch window do not stay expanded.
Add other clickity-clickity-claks to a simple test.
Basically the best way to test this behavior is inserting test code and debug prints, as we used to do when we had to chisel bits one by one onto EEPROMS with tiny hammers and a lot of patience.
Told you it was a rant.

Sounds like a situation where unit tests would work well.

Probably because it was modelled on languages which do allow execution to fall-through, and without an explicit break / return, early adopters might have thought the C# code was falling through.
[Proposal] Case fall through should be allowed · dotnet/csharplang · Discussion #603 · GitHub[^]
See also Eric Lippert's comments on SO:
C# enforces the no-fall-through rule in every switch section, including the last one. This is so that switch sections can be re-ordered arbitrarily, possibly by mechanical tools, without introducing semantic changes in the program.
C# enforces the no-fall-through rule by requiring that the end point of every switch section be unreachable. It is not necessary for a switch section to end in a break. It can end in a break, return, goto, continue, throw, or a detectable infinite loop:

For the most common scenario it just adds a line of code that has to be written which has no meaning.
It just clutters the code with additional meaningless lines. Bah, or better, ![Sheep | [baah]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sheep.gif) !

I agree with a specific "end of case" being required - as Richard quoted, it allows the compiler to spot code faults instead of letting them cause runtime problems.
It may be "unnecessary", but it does trap some errors which could be difficult to diagnose at run time.

It does allow multiple "entry points", so
case 1:
case 2:
Some code
break;
So it can't just assume a break. Sure they can come up with rules for how it would be interpreted, but kind of glad they didn't.

Got an email from Dell that some of my data had been compromised. They don't think any financial data was stolen. Another one, sigh.
It seems to me that the people on the dark side have it much easier. I have to screw around with passwords, text messages, and some ugly Microsoft security application on my phone to get to my data.
They just click. Doesn't seem right.
Oh well, every hundred years, all new people.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
