A new codebase at a new job is a lot like a new relationship: everything’s great until you really get to know each other. Just ask Bradley, who joined Javatechsoft Industries a few months ago. He was brought on to lend a hand with an overdue project. The pay was good, the job came with life insurance, and he had plenty of experience with Enterprise Java. It seemed like the perfect fit.
Scott K was cleaning up a configuration utility used by his team when he dredged up this sanity-threatening artifact:
Jul 15void Save(string path)
{
XmlTextWriter write = null;
try
{
write = new XmlTextWriter(path, null);
}
catch (IOException)
{
write.WriteEndDocument();
write.Close();
try
{
write = new XmlTextWriter(path, null);
}
catch (IOException)
{
return;
}
}
// Write stuff to the file
}
