No, we don't have parameter validation code....we have no code. We are in the architecture phase (ok...I have some utilities written but that's it). As for writing the app to do the parameter validation...that is something I hope ALL the developers do, but it's very hard to enforce. I can and will do code reviews but I'm sure I will miss stuff. So, I'm taking the approach that the app will NOT be PERFECTLY writen and the more I can plan for that, the better the app will be.
Thanks for the bad news about "there is nothing" :) I could have sworn there was something but it's been a long time ago. I'll continue to look and if I find something I'll let you know. THANKS ALL.

You can get the names through reflection, but not the values. If you want to dump those out you'll need to write code for that. Hopefully, you've already got parameter validation code that does the initial testing of the parameters to make sure they're within the bounds of your design. That should help clear up a lot of the "garbage in, garbage out" errors. --- Patrick Steele Microsoft .NET MVP http://weblogs.asp.net/psteele/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics. > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Franklin Gray > Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 11:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Writing code for Debugging > > > Ok....now...how about the part to write.
