Too Afraid to Compile

This happens to me a lot, it's the point where I take a break, knowing I'll have to spend a while debugging. However, every once in a while, it's perfect and those moments are amazing, but you take a long break anyway, because, hey, why not?

I'm working on some C# and after an hour and a half of typing out code without stopping, I thought of this post. Hopefully everything runs like I think it should. lol

And.... how did it go?

@scottalanmiller Didn't run into any issues. Thank God. I was expecting that somewhere along the line I deleted something by accident and was going to have to wade through code. Glad I was wrong. haha.

Using TDD? How do you know it all works as intended if it's such a huge code block?

The results look good to me, lol. I'm using a Visual Studio on A Win 7 box over a VDI connection and things can lag every once in awhile, that can get sort of scary.

ROFL!

@lance Are you using Visual Studio? That's had background compilation since 2005. Edit: Never mind, just saw that you are.

So True. Especially not being a programmer by trade but, having to make programs anyway.

A lot of IDEs had this for even longer At any rate Microsoft really pioneered the hell out of this with Visual Studio 97, though primarily associated with Visual Basic 5 and beyond.
