I'll second Peter's comments. Code review works wonders. Doing a code review will greatly benefit the project, regardless of the level of knowledge of the team members. You may have worked in one part of the project and developed some routines that could benefit another part of the project. If you code review each other's work then you will see when functions were added or someone will see when you wrote a function to do the same thing as they have already done. Plus it can also help you by preventing the "hammering in a nail with a sledgehammer" syndrome!
With .NET you have the same features as Java in that you can document your code and have it converted into a web-based help system. I utilize JavaDoc in Java and Sandcastle in .NET to provide me with complete documentation of all projects. Once you start using it you will immediately see the benefits of maintaining it. ...Glenn On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 2:16 PM, Peter Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > so, if they're not .NET Generics, why did you capitalize 'generic' in your > question?
