Note: This is more of a question for my understanding.
Today I stumbled upon a structure within C# which I had not seen before. While typing and talking to a colleague, I mistakenly added (curly) brackets within my method body, and only noticed after compiling, and the compiler didn't show me any warnings or errors.
#region Determine if update is newer than current version
{
var tmpMetaData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(Path.Combine(plugin.FullName, METADATA_FILE_NAME));
if (tmpMetaData.GetValue(METADATA_KEY_APP_VER) == metaData.GetValue(METADATA_KEY_APP_VER)) {
WriteLine("The currently installed version of {0} is identical to the version found in the update pak...");
WriteLine("This update will be ignored.");
continue;
}
}
#endregion
After googling for a while and not finding anything concrete, but some vague information about branching in C#, I gathered that this construct must be one form of branching.
I've seen similar in Java, however that is object initialization.
I cannot access the variable within this block, which further strengthens my theory.
Can anyone confirm my theory, or am I completely mistaken?
