>>>Just doing an end of week code review and trying to decide which of these two lines of code should get the 'most obscure line of the week' award'?
int? i = (int?)(from LLLabel s in sheetCanvas.Children where s.Id == l.Id select s)
>>>                .Max(x => x.GetValue(CMProp.StampIndexProperty));
or
var v = s.Split(new Char[] { ' ' }).Select(x => x).Where(x => x.Length > 0);
I sort of like the first one - nullable type, a bit of Linq, an extension method using a lambda expression with an attached dependency property - but the last bit is WPF specfic so perhaps shouldn't count.

The output.

Reminds me many years ago maintaining a batch Cobol application that produced a very large paper report on BT (then post office) pay

I'd been looking after it for about a year when the user/customer called up and asked what we wanted them to do with all this printout that we kept sending them.
