I don't know about everybody else but if you have a quick "review" of Vista
I'd be interested to hear it. I'm going to upgrade eventually but I figured
I'd wait a patch or two :-)

Thanks Tom. I was quite busy for a while rolling out 500 Vista desktops,
but that's out of the way now and Im back with a vengance :)
I'm certainly not advocating the use of a mish-mash of styles, nor will I
permit my staff using a mish-mash of style. You're absolutely correct that
consistency is the key.

You will find 'purists' who will argue till the cows come home that one
form is correct and the other isn't or that one form is is better and
the other isn't but if both forms compile to identical IL then the
argument is purely acedemic and it is up to you to use the form that you
feel most comfortable with.
If the compiled IL is different and/or the execution of one form is
implemented differently then that is a completely different matter. (The
use of Control.Select() over Control.Focus() fits into this category.)
Hi Stephany glad to see you're back. I'll agree that it can be academic
but I'm not sure I'd characterize it as purely a matter of personal
choice. In the extreme case one might argue that spelling doesn't matter
and it's the idea that counts yet a resume' filled with spelling errors
isn't likely to receive the same attention as one with no spelling
errors. The rational (rightly or wrongly) is probably that; if the person
can't bother to spell correctly what else can't they bother to do?
If nothing else one's choice should be consistent. I'd rather read code
using a style that I don't like (but consistently) than code written
using every known (and some unknown) style. Differences within a project
(or worse a single file) look to me like I'm viewing somebody's
experiment (the code finally worked) rather than their solution. If
Control.Select() and Control.Focus() are interchangeable I'd consider
which one was used in other .Net languages, which one was likely to be
used more often and finally which (if either) was found in other
languages (notably C++, Java, et. al.)
Rather than describe the process as "academic" I prefer the word
"finesse." Any boob can produce code these days... if they can't write it
on their own they can cut & paste it from the Internet or use a code
generator. What they can't do by borrowing chunks of code or using a
wizard however is craft something elegant.
