You place a drop down with the two protocols and when the user selects one, switch it.
This is known as the drop-down methodology of software development.

As opposed to the bottoms up methodology, where all code is written by Nagy?

Yes, but code written on the bottom of the barstool is rarely usable as is; several pints of debugger are usually required.

Yes; don't post programming questions here: it says so quite clearly above. If you can't read and understand that, what hope do you have?

I have a new requirement for a content based routing thing, if a value in an xml message is true then it goes to two places, otherwise it goes to just the one.
Capture a message, find the node, look at the value - false.
So I code for true and false.
It doesn't work.
Capture a message that didn't behave as I thought it should, look at the value - yes.
Look at a few more.
Yep, for reasons that I cannot begin to imagine the value of the node I am trying to route on is false or yes.
yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0, penis or vagina.
What kind of sick mind goes for yes or false?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Yes, your code needs to be more flexible:
if (messageValue.ToLower().MatchesOneOf("1", "yes", "true", "vb sucks"))
{
message.SendToTwoPlaces();
}
else if (messageValue.ToLower().MatchesOneOf("0", "no", "false", "vb rocks"))
{
message.SendToOnePlace();
}
else
{
throw new UserTooUncertainException(messageValue);
}
Probably should really add all the trew/falls options to a couple of dictionaries but I couldn't be bothered; you get the idea!

I'll take a whack at it.
I am a Masm developer. I write my own runtime functions. Any API accesses are through my runtime wrappers. In my world, I preserve all used registers (and the flags if I call any system APIs), and this includes the EAX register. If you want a return value from a function, you must supply a pointer to the location to receive the return value. Each function returns a success value in a common cell called dError (use it or loose it), and ends by comparing dError to 0, thus the flags on return from the function reflect whether the function succeeded or failed - 0 or "jz Good" - non-zero or "jnz Bad".
Now, as defined by "C", TRUE is a non zero value and False is zero, just the opposite of my checks.
To get around this annomoly, I never use TRUE or FALSE, just GOOD (0) or BAD (non zero).
It all depends on your point of view. There can only be a single case of GOOD, but there can be multiple cases of BAD.
Dave.

Why is every message in the lounge being marked as SPAM / ABUSIVE?
Just curious. If it is a CPer, then STOP IT!

Off topic; giving a down-vote does not give one points, it costs a point. Mass-downvoting means that it's just a matter of time before he/she gets to a point where they can only downvote a specific amount.

1. We can't downvote in Lounge anymore, not for a long time. Do you mean mark as SPAM/Abusive?
2. It does not cost a point, or what do you mean? If I mark something as SPAM it does not cost me a point.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
