Hmm, interesting!

As far as I know, Danny Thorpe is one of Borland developers. Why he is placing annotations into this book?

Is he now working inside Microsoft or may be he is external co-author expert of your book?

Danny is still very much at Borland.. he worked on the CLI specification as part of the ECMA working group. It is really good to have 3rd party involvement in making the standard and the product.

This is a step in the right direction. To go all the way, stop passing -any- kind of control flag into methods. We've known that "control coupling" is bad ever since the structured programming days. To get past it in the example above, create subclasses for each case in your enumeration. Then you don't need the enumeration any more.

For more information on why control coupling is bad, see any old book on structured design from the 1970s, or Bertrand Meyer's Object Oriented Software Construction. There are many more useful design guidelines in the latter reference.
