I've been working with Microsoft's .NET technology since I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in MIS way back in December of 2003. To put it in perspective, when I was first hired out of college my co-workers were talking about upgrading to .NET 1.1. My career has taken me through several industries, advertising, publishing, telemarketing, and most recently the oil industry. This has allowed me to work on several different aspects of the .NET framework from simple WinForms applications, to ASP.NET applications, windows services, WCF services, web services, and even good old command line programs (gotta love those!). I originally cut my teeth on VB.NET but now work in C#. The primary database I now connect to is Oracle, but my previous jobs had me working in SQL Server 2000/2005/2008/2008 R2.

What is the logic behind filtering/sanitizing input? If I had to venture a guess it is probably because they want something like that locked down by default, to prevent less experienced developers from causing huge security problems. I think back to the developer I was at the very start of my career and chances are I would have made a mistake like that. Framework makers have to sometimes write for the lowest common denominator, which causes some headaches for the more experienced developers. |

Storing IEnumerable as instance variable - is it a code smell to expect it to change? Returning the list as IEnumerable is separating code through interfaces, which is always a big plus for me. |
