Here's where you guys can voice your opinions...but at least back them up!
I have a couple simple classes to input and output a string in the same
format as MFC. (Have to do it to be backward compatible with the existing
MFC application.) The base layout for the class is as follows:
public class MFCStringReader : BinaryReader
{
public MFCStringReader(Stream s) : base(s) {}
public String ReadCString()
{
<processing code here>
}
There are many instances in which I only need to read one string. How would
you write it?
value = new MFCStringReader(sr).ReadCString();
or
value = (new MFCStringReader(sr)).ReadCString();
The first is a bit cleaner, but the second makes it clearer as to what is
being returned. Comments!
