I've seen some MS code and can honestly say that MS's coders should follow the book. It seems like a different coder writes a different function and coding/style standards are not followed. Oh before we get too far into the 'debate', while I like the book I found the variable names difficult to deal with. After a certain time the names became so long that they became noise in the code. At some point you have to decided between long names with meaning and shorter meaningful names. My tendency is towards the shorter as it makes reading the code easier. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
