    Things like this wouldn't happen if more people used undecipherable 3-letter variable names. This would be a prime candidate for acronymization. :p

    It does amaze me that intellisense has no collapsing or side scrolling, or some way to recover from situations like this. Didn't VS 6 at least pull the next line back under the function name with an indent?

    I'm debating on whether the herarchical class namespace thing was necessarily a good idea from the start, or whether VS.NET should add a "..." somewhere in that long string of nestings, or possibly only display the deepest node in the heirarchy.

    I'm unable to see the rest of the screen, but does the poor unfortunant OP have to go through that series of "."'s each time they access a member function?

    A simple:

    using Hubbard.Connect.BusinessEntities;

    and some other strategically placed using declarations would solve this problem.

  • (cs)

    Besides the Intellisense thing (the Visual Studio devs could use more efficiently that text area) there isn't much of a WTF this time.
    I can see 3 member hiding warnings but it could be that the screen shot was taken while the code was actually written and then this is not from production code.

    about the gif's... (funny ones BTW)
    I kind of like Oracle some Oracle features (and dislike others) but I don't care at all about someone bashing it, if people have the time and willingness to do that good for them.
    There's a lot of MS bashing in the other campus so maybe it's just fair.

    Ironically, that screenshot also breaks the layout of the forum tables in FireFox.

    AFAIK using clauses does not modify how Intellisense display the members of a class (that is showing the full class hierarchies).
  • (cs) in reply to Mike R

    VS.NET ( at least my version 2003 I believe) does scroll left to right but you have to use the scroll bar at the bottom.  I'm a fan of detail over confusing acronyms so long namespaces don't bother me.  This one is a bit extreme though.

    Moin,

    And now, if you sent the right Content-Type (no, I'm pretty sure 'text/html' isn't right) with the random gifs ...

    the biggest problem is that you're using '.Net' crap.  '.Net' is MS's biggest boondoggle, and they wasted a billion dollars doing it.  Just think, they could have been spending all that on changing the interface to be like Star Trek or HAL 9000.  But Noooo.... they had to go and waste everyone's time with something idiotic like ".Net", hence the bozillian-dotted-name-hierarchy-this-is-being-done-to-illustrate-a-point naming nonsense, trivial functionality done with objects to guarantee that Intel will sell more CPU's as people have to upgrade their hardware to compensate for code inefficiency in its very core.  People actually make money programming C# for '.Net'?  I thought all of that was being farmed out to India...!

    The real WTF here are those stupid nested namespaces of .NET. And you can't just dump all the crap from the namespace to a global scope with a using statement cause thats ugly and might cause collisions.

    Best solution is rename the namespace to something shorter/more sensible when importing.

    As if Java is that much different. IIRC Java uses a very similar naming convention for classes.. something to the effect of "<org>.<product>.<module>.<class>.<member>"

    At least with .NET the code is compiled during the first run-time from the IL executable. Java still does JIT compilation. Of course, I could be misunderstanding this and .NET is also a JIT-based system.
  • (cs) in reply to Mike R

    .NET is JIT based.  Each method is JIT-Compiled when first called, and remains in a working cache of compiled code for subsequent calls.  When the application is run again, the process begins again unless the application is explicitly pre-compiled inm which case it always remains compiled.

    Why's this C# and .NET stuff so damn popular anyway? Oh well, might as well ask why

    • MS Windows
    • MS IE
    • MS Office
    • MS WMP
    are so damn popular. Or is there actually a real reason .NET is so popular?

  • (cs)

    I just have to say... poor poor guy. That happened to me once with the SqlCommand intellisense, but I backspaced and reopened the parameter portion (SqlCommand()) and it fixed itself; I still shat myself when I saw it, but hey, it all worked out in the end.

    Because there is no $#!^% feed on this site. There is a feed, but you have to go to another kind of site for a $#!^% feed.
