I'm with Griff on this one, it was weird right from the get go 
Remind me to keep my tongue in my mouth if I ever fail to not meet you in person

LOL, I am weird, but there was nothing untoward intended by my original comment.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Sorry but the would-I-show-this-to-my-kid-sister rule applies here.
Let’s keep it above the belt in the lounge please.
cheers

Nothing in the song or video hints to anything below the belt.
The word "lick" is not mentioned in the lyrics, but they do say "tongue on the telly".
Without any context, lick could be a lick on the cheek (or the telly).
The video is weird, but clean weird.
I'm afraid the dirty ones are us, not the original post

The Mountain Goats - Genesis 19: 1-2 - YouTube[^]
I feel a little weird liking the song because I'm gay and so many people associate Sodom with homosexuality, or maybe that's why i like it, but regardless, I just love this song.
The second verse reminds me of the good side of being a homeless teen (spend long enough, and you'll find the freedom in it - not to say it's not rough overall) but the kind of mixture of being screwed and being free in the 2nd verse. Yeah. It's like that.
[Verse 1]
The girl who'd been haunting your dreams all your life
The butcher from Brooklyn, the butcher's wife
The girl who kissed you in the seventh grade
Her and all the others lined up behind the gate
[Refrain]
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening
When the sun up in the sky was bleeding all over you
[Verse 2]
And you had your camera
And you had your felt tip
And you had some money
And you had everything you needed
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening
They saw you coming up the boulevard
[Refrain]
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening
When the sun up in the sky was bleeding all over you

From the Guy Clark song 'Cold Dog Soup': Ain't no money in poetry
That's what sets the poet free
I've had all the freedom I can stand
Not sure why, but your mention of freedom made me think of this lyric.

it recognizes the keyword delete.
If you put delete someVar; at the end of a routine you'll get a bunch of compile errors above that in your routine saying someVar was not defined, even though it was.
just a weird thing i noticed.

Isn't C# garbage-collected? Maybe some low level file includes "#define delete #undef" 
|
|
|
|

usually all of the weird undocumented keywords in C# are preceded by double underscore like __stackalloc
it might have something to do with LINQ? not sure if linq supports delete, but I'd doubt it. I don't use linq much.

VS2017
It doesn't recognize it as a keyword per se. Doesn't highlight it in the editor nor does the compiler flag it as a keyword.
No, what it does is change the error reporting.
If you try to "delete" a variable you declared at the top of a routine, the editor will give you errors saying that said variable was not defined.
not just on the delete line, but everywhere you use it, as if you never declared the variable in the first place.

honey the codewitch wrote: If you try to "delete" a variable ... the editor will give you errors saying that said variable was not defined ... not just on the delete line, but everywhere you use it, as if you never declared the variable in the first place.
Of course. That's cuz you 'deleted' it!  The editor knows all!

JavaScript has the delete keyword (it removes a property from an object).
Perhaps VS can't decide whether you're writing C# or JavaScript?
|
|
|
|

Another wierdness:
The editor grays out "unneccessary" parentheses and qualifications and whathaveyou.
But sometimes it is too eager: "Object" is always grayed out when given as the class in a variable declaration.
For some static system functions / intrinsics, such as Char.IsDigit(), the class qualification ("Char.") is grayed out.
But you cannot delete them, neither "Object" nor "Char.".
So what is the logic behind grayint them out? (I believe it has been that way for several major VS versions; I currently use 2017.)

It's suggesting that they can be simplified to the C# built-in type keywords: object instead of Object, and char instead of Char.
Built-in types table - C# Reference | Microsoft Docs[^]
It doesn't make a huge difference for these two types. But it's worth noting that it's possible to define your own Object and Char classes, whereas you can't define a class called object or char without prefixing it with @. (Could be useful if you wanted to really annoy your colleagues.)

Thanks! I had never noticed that use of graying before - only as a sign of something not needed.
I name all my own classes starting with an uppercase, so every now and then an uppercase initial sneaks in even for the system defined classes, by a "slip of the keyboard", without me taking much notice. Actually, I never wrote any code where explicit use of the class types were required. The implicit boxing always took care of it. So for my use, both Object and Char (with uppercase initial) might go away!
(There probably are cases were explicit use is required. I had been progamming C# for several months before I came into a situation where explicit use of "this" was required.)

They way their text editor highlights code it doesn't surprise me. It doesn't use Roslyn or anything like that.
It basically uses a technique a lot like contextual regex matching.
So it's bound to be dodgy at points. Frankly, I'm surprised it works as well as it does.

0) I refactored the app so that the main window is a wizard form (I was originally displaying a separate wizard form).
1) All of the basic model/viewmodel generation is done.
2) Today, I managed got pretty far into the "mapping" wizard page, that allows you to select a stored proc that ostensiblty puts data into the database, and then map properties to the stored procs parameters. This is done via a combo box that only displays model properties that are of a compatible type with the selected parameter.
My brain is kinda fried...

I don't know if you already know this, or how much you care, but
Microsoft UI guidelines (i don't have a link handy, is from memory) indicate that for every wizard way to do something there should be a non-wizard way to do it too.
Although a lot of apps bend or break this guideline.
Just FYI

Look where Microsoft's guidelines have GOTTEN them...
Besides, "guidelines" are just that... guidelines. This app needs to step the user through the model generation process, because, well, user.
