Ah, well, you might not be using the "debugger" early enough :) I find it's a good practice to set a break-point whenever running new code for the first time. (So in my case, that's usually within a test.) The best time to inspect code is when its being created. Stepping through the code in a debugger gives us a chance to verify that everything is working the way we expect. Steve McConnell mentions the idea in Code Complete, and I have to say that it works well for me. I also like to think of it as following Habit 1: Be Proactive. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
