Hi Grant, The choice is really down to your programming style. I have come from a C / Pascal / PLSQL / Java background and have learned to be very dogmatic and methodical with my programming style. As a team leader I insist that all variables are either declared at the start of a template or to use cfparam if expected and that logical default are set. I find the best part of this approach is that all variables are defined in 1 place and it helps with referencing which variables should exist and what their default values should be. I also find that it reduces the number of variables being used as you have a reference point at the top of the template to check for what is available an why it exists.
I am the same in CFCs where I expect that all arguments are defined and either set to required or defaulted with a logical default value. I also expect that all local variables are defined (which is even more important in methods as local variables. Still, having said that. Each to their own Cheers, Simon On 04/06/07, grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All > > My patchy memory keeps nagging at me not to use isDefined(). > Am I off-base or do I remember something about it being best-practice to > avoid isDefined()? > > Who's got the low-down? > Grant > > > > -- Cheers Simon Haddon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
