At least we get an error message when we do stuff like that in C#. If you'd have done that in C the compiler would have accepted it - TTT.PaymentStatusID would have been assigned 1 which would then be regarded as a 'true' expression - and you'd have been hard pressed to find it later on when the program was malfunctioning! To avoid this sort of error many C programmers write the expressions the other way around: 1 == TTT.PaymentStatusID but (thankfully) that is unnecessary in C# :)

You're welcome. Worst part of such small mistakes is that it is very difficult to identify them for the person who has written the code. Others can identify them much quicker.
