[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

Hi Arthur and Charlotte,

I used to use the same "one exit point" principle over the years (especially
in my VBA programming) but I must note it's becoming obsolete nowadays: I do
not use it almost at all anymore in my C#/VB.NET development.

Have a look what is the reasoning behind this "new approach" to not bother
about "one exit point" principle:

Everything seems to be changing in programming these days but one who has
been in programming for some time can rather clearly see we're "just"
getting repeating/rethinking of "good old habits" but on higher current
level of evolution spiral of computer science, programming methods and
practices... 

Thank you.

Yup. Over the years I have learned to accept this wisdom: each procedure or
function should have exactly one exit point. Define the result variable and
set it within your case statement, then jump out and return the result
variable. No headaches or scratched foreheads that way.
