Here is the answer, M$ changed their mind at some point and your university has a stale information but it seems it was true in the past.

This is a reucurring theme at this specific subject unfortunately. He doesn’t seem to put much effort into it, as most slides are just plain text and nothing else. I stopped attending after the second class.

That truly sucks. Yeah, some professors can be like that. I had a math professor offer bonus points to the first 3 students completed the assignment, only for the majority to cheat and just look up the answer and turn that in. It became a contest of who could copy the fastest and one student even admitted to doing it, but she just didn’t care and gave points to the cheaters anyway.

I swear all lecturer slides are outdated for programming.

Thanks for looking that up, because the application exception is the way I originally learned this myself. And I’ve been doing .net for 20 years.

Do you guys still use it in practice though? I have never seen or heard about this until now.
