Yes, I am aware of techniques. But I do not really bother. It is OK for me have one instance. I am not a purist after all.

Not really. It is linked to the product we work on and I am bound not to share technical details to outside World. However, I will think of something if I can.

A week or two ago I posted a query about which was best, LoadFooById(Int64) or LoadFoo(SomeParentObject). Really it was more just a passing question because I had read it on the Internet as someone ranting against the later suggesting that the former is the better approach. Well, I tend to do both depending on the when's and the where's and well, last night, at a soft product launch, LoadFooById bit me hard.

I needed to convert a three part string into the respective Id values. So I returned Tuple<int, int,="" int="">, what could go wrong with that! Obviously, we all know. Yes, the other solution is a simple version with Just id values

public FooResult{
    OrderId
    CustomerId
    AsteroidId
}

But, the misses the validation which is equally important so I fully hydrated objects.

Its funny, with years of experience, you take short-cuts on personal projects, and they always bite you just like they did when you were just out of college!

BTW, I had to refund three customers for their asteroids so this mistake actually had a financial impact.

And if anyone mentions that I should have a unit test in place, well, um, *&#* you : ) [can a kid sister read gibberish]

I still stand by that. One incident is no reason to ban a perfectly good technique.

You only notice when they do.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Sounds like you should have written some code to do it for you. Smile | :)

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Feel free to drop me an email with the German terms you can't translate to English - I'm a native speaker, and translating them shouldn't be a hard deal for me.

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

That's a noun. It should be "gutted" instead.

He did not mention the language. So I just assumed english as that is the language of this forum.

And by the way how dare you call yourself a native german speaker?
You're swiss and that stuff doesn't even come close to being german. :P

And there is no ß in your alphabet. Big Grin | :-D

It's called Swiss German, so I'm a native German speaker Laugh | :laugh:

German is actually a broad term, and most of the Swiss manage to write proper "Standard" german. Just don't let 'em talk it.
Apart from that, bayrisch and all the other accents can't be called "German", either Laugh | :laugh:
