Greetings from sunny South Africa!

It makes me happy to see what I consider to be a simple
elegant snippet of code. For example, I wanted to generate
morse code for a microcontroller and found a simple 26 byte
array indexed by character with each byte describing the
dots and dashes of morse for that character.

A job that is challenging and when done makes them better at their craft.
Clear goals and a job that matters.

So here's the code for an appointment management WebPart a previous programmer did:
DateTime primer = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month, 1);
DateTime ultimo = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year, DateTime.Today.Month + 1, 1);
So obviously the thingy stopped working exactly today, as Schmarz is not yet recognized as a month...
Sigh.
|
|
|
|
|
DateTime ultimo = primer.AddMonths(1);
ftfy.
|
|
|
|
|
I know, that's exactly what I did. Still, it threw the organization into chaos since such WebPart was at their intranet's home page...

Second bug in a row... today I wrote "escribido" rather than "escrito" on a SLA proposal... I really need to get some sleep...

Damn, sorry! I knowed that!

Why give "useful" info to someone who obviously doesn't need it? (Someone slammed by someone else's non-thinking moment, not, "What did I do wrong?".)

Yes, it is bad but understandable. The equivalent of that code works just fine in Excel, for example. Try "=Date(2011,Month(Today())+1,1)" and you get 1/1/2012 which seems sensible to me. It's a coding style I have used for years.
No excuses, I'm just saying.

Depends on the language. I know that in Java it was explicitly decided that you just can't set a date to a 'wrong value' and let it auto correct. You have to use the methods to add days or months.

Mmm, then it surely is valid in SharePoint, when dealing with lists and calculated columns. Since the WebPart is used in a SharePoint installation, perhaps the developer got his idea from that...

I don't think it's "understandable" when an ASP.Net programmer makes a mistake like this. Presumably they weren't hired for their Excel skills?
