"It's not as if we're paid by the line of code, but our management team is run by a couple MBAs that love to quantify everything. And as we all know, nothing quantifies programmer productivity better than the 'units of software' delivered. And speaking of a unit of software, here's a valuable one put together by one of my more 'productive' colleagues.
Public Function makeBoolean(ByVal b As Boolean)
Return b
End Function
Public Function makeByte(ByVal b As Byte)
Return b
End Function
Public Function makeChar(ByVal c As Char)
Return c
End Function
Public Function makeDate(ByVal d As Date)
Return d
End Function
Public Function makeDecimal(ByVal d As Decimal)
Return d
End Function
Public Function makeDouble(ByVal d As Double)
Return d
End Function
Public Function makeInteger(ByVal i As Integer)
Return i
End Function
Public Function makeLong(ByVal l As Long)
Return l
End Function
Public Function makeObject(ByVal o As Object)
Return o
End Function
Public Function makeSByte(ByVal s As SByte)
Return s
End Function
Public Function makeShort(ByVal s As Short)
Return s
End Function
Public Function makeSingle(ByVal s As Single)
Return s
End Function
Public Function makeString(ByVal s As String)
Return s
End Function
Public Function makeString2(ByVal s As String)
Return s.ToString()
End Function
Public Function makeUInteger(ByVal u As UInteger)
Return u
End Function
Public Function makeULong(ByVal u As ULong)
Return u
End Function
Public Function makeUShort(ByVal u As UShort)
Return u
End Function
"I guess I'd argue that this is redundant code.... but then again, I'm not paid to argue, but to code."
