@Zak You're welcome. You are free to vote any way you like, but if you are downvoting based on his readability compared to yours, make sure it is of equal quality or worst than the question. Different people see things differently.

@CaptainObvious unwritten code?
 
Zak
Zak
It's not just the readability, I can't think (and I'm trying) of a single aspect of his code that is an improvement over mine. Except it's much shorter (because it doesn't do a lot of things it should).
 
Ismael Miguel
Ismael Miguel
Explain that part
But remember
Reviewers aren't required to actually provide code
 
Zak
Zak
So. His code goes Put sheet1 data in array (using hardcoded references), put sheet2 data in array. Match lists and print each match to the worksheet individually.
mine does all of that, in almost exactly the same way
except mine is extracted into methods
does not use hardcoded references
and only prints to the 3rd worksheet once, instead of 700 times
and also does some important data validation / formatting stuff
 
Ismael Miguel
Ismael Miguel
1:06 PM
What you told me that his code isn't doing is the content of your comment.
 
Zak
Zak
Basically what I'm saying is that his answer offers an implementation that doesn't do any single part of the process better than the equivalent part in my code, and also employs several bad coding practices (E.G. hard coded references) which mine does not.
it's not bad, it just doesn't provide, IMO, anything that would be useful as a way to improve the question as it stands

If it doesn't do what it is supposed to, it is broken code

A: Aggregating 2 lists by matching UniqueIDs

RaystafarianI'm having a little bit of trouble following it through without comments, but from what I understand you might e better off using a Microsoft query to 'join' on the "primary key" - you can take a look at this answer on superuser.

I fully believe that he's written an answer which he feels is useful (and something I easily might've written just a week or 2 ago) but is not actually good code
and I certainly don't want to downvote someone who's trying to help without providing an explanation on why I don't think their answer is a good one
 
Mast
Mast
You could of-course write your own answer.
Which may be an even better idea.
 
Zak

I asked the question because my code's already as good as I feel I can make it

@RubberDuck it's not about the IoC framework.. it's about DI. A small project can totally go with poor man's DI, but that entails a composition root and no newing up of dependencies in constructors. OP had 2 constructors there, one of them was never called in the app - the 2nd ctor was only there for testing - that's the smelly part :-)

@IsmaelMiguel you can't do this with a static method. This can be done with an instance method only.

RubberDuck

@Mat'sMug I disagree with that. Without an IoC, having a composition root makes your code an awful mess. That ctor isn't solely for testing purposes. You can still use it if you decide to implement a second IFooBar class. The default ctor is simply a convenience method. It would have zero impact on moving to an IoC later.

Mat's Mug
Mat's Mug
@RubberDuck you're seeing things from a legacy app POV. From a DI POV, having 2 constructors makes no sense, one of them is not in use. If the composition root is the only place things get new'd up, then your code is no more of a bloody mess than what it would be with an IoC container. In fact, newing things up at the composition root is pretty much the only way introducing an IoC container will have zero impact on your code later on...

@EBrown enums should have a default value, typically notated as None = 0. That way you don't have to work with Nullable<Enum>

@JeroenVannevel Things to really badly if I do that, unfortunately.

@EBrown Sounds interesting.

I borked it a bit, and the direction has to have a valid value everywhere except that one spot.

Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
2:10 PM
@EBrown you can't enforce an enum having valid values like that, any more than using a default value
 
EBrown
EBrown
@JeroenVannevel Essentially, I cannot have a None value because of the class in this question.
@JeroenVannevel Well, the problem is that Direction is used for rendering.
So that it's persistent.
Otherwise, I have to have a rendering bit for when Direction is None.
 
Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
If you'd use ((Direction) 555) would also be valid code with invalid values

@IsmaelMiguel No, you're stating points everybody knows which do not support your theory.
 
EBrown
EBrown
Therefore, I do not have to support it.
 
Mast
Mast
@IsmaelMiguel Of which you only have 8 directions.
The 5 in your diagram isn't a direction.
It's lack of direction.

@EBrown You have now
 
Mast
Mast
@IsmaelMiguel Why?
That's still not 9 by the way.
That's 5.
 
EBrown
EBrown
So now, my enum would look like this:
 
Jeroen Vannevel
Jeroen Vannevel
2:33 PM
It depends on how you use it exactly but by using [Flags] (or just using 2^x values), you would turn that into an unsupported result. Instead of a random actual value
 
EBrown

{
    None = 0,
    Up = 1 << 0,
