You've never seen that the "using" statement doesn't do what it's supposed to do. > Yeah, I fixed the problem by getting rid of the Using statement period. You may have rearranged the code, and in doing so may have removed YOUR bug that was causing problems. But merely changing from a "using" statement to the equivalent "try/finally" did not fix any problem. > I am not buying it, and the Using statement doesn't work as advertised > 100% of the time. It works exactly as advertised, 100% of the time. Pete

Don't dispute anything I write, or else you'll be censored! Uh, right. That's why all the other disagreements with me, including your own, remain. I had to check Google Groups to see what the fuss was about, since I didn't see the original post on the Microsoft server. And yes, while I didn't find the statement threatening (seems like an obvious � hackneyed even � pop culture reference to me), I can see how it might be considered by Microsoft to have crossed the line. In response to the specific claims you made though: � If there's a problem, it can be demonstrated without showing the exact code in which you found it, proprietary, confidential, or otherwise. Just create a specific proof-of-concept, concise-but-complete code example that reliably demonstrates the problem. Not that you'll be able to to. But that would be the way to prove your case. � You claimed that using "try/finally" instead of "using" is a "Best Practices for Web Performance" recommendation. Well, I entered that phrase in Google, and the only examples of it are from your own post. I'm sure that there's no Microsoft statement that recommends "try/finally" instead of "using" as a way of improving performance. But please feel free to post a link to some reference that you think provides that recommendation; I'll be happy to look through it and see if it really says that. Most likely, you've simply misunderstood some other statement. Of course, even a recommendation to use "try/finally" instead of "using" for performance would have nothing to do with _correctness_, which is where you claim the "using" statement fails. But in either case, since all that "using" does is cause the compiler to emit exactly the "try/finally" code you'd write by hand, it's implausible that there would be either a correctness or performance difference between the two.

Glad we could work this out. I am going to tell you again dummy. It's code owned by the DoD, and I am not posting it. And besides stupid, I haven been posting from home for the last couple of days after getting out of the hospital this past Monday, Jesus. |
