While translating some of the C# code of MyDownloader<\/a> to VB.Net for the .Net download library, I’ve already come across quite some awkward code. IMHO, the underneath example could go into the code horrors section<\/a> of The Code Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n newInfo = defaultDownloadProvider.GetFileInfo(this.ResourceLocation, out stream);<\/p>\n

\n }
\n else

Why? It uses breaks and returns in the middle of the code, like if C# is some lame generic language without selection structures. The use of the try-catch bloks also seems odd. Also have a look at the condition for the do while loop – lol. The only thing missing are a few GoTo statements, which would have convinced me to print this out and torture fellow geeks with \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I started off translating this literally, but got so annoyed by the bad coding practice I decided to attempt to rewrite it. I say ‘attempt’, cause code written like that is not easy to understand, esp for people who are used to ‘decent’ structured code. I splitted the code into 2 subs instead of one, removed all breaks, returns, the insane do while true and put only the required code in try catches.<\/p>\n
