When you provide a complete answer to a question, and get the follow up reply "Pls solve !!", what do you do to not lose temper? I figured that at the rate you're helping people, you ought to get a lot of those replies.
:thumbs up: for your C# forum efforts by the way

Let's just say I'm glad that this message board can't record what I say on the other side of the screen!
I usually try to accept the fact that many programmers these days aren't really developers and don't know how to really research the problem, so asking me to explain what I wrote isn't a big surprise. It's always nice when someone has researched their problem but just can't figure it out.
I'm only human, though, and sometimes my fustration comes through. Lately it seems there's a rash of "questions" where they post a whole bunch of code (not even formatted, which makes it incredibly difficult to read) and then they simply say "it doesn't work" with no further explanation. Or sometimes there's not even any code at all with a statement of "it doesn't work". That's what's truly aggravating. That's like going to a doctor and saying, "I don't feel well." There's not a doctor in the world that could diagnose the problem just from that, nor is there a developer in the world that could diagnose a problem with no source code, little description, and simply "it doesn't work". One can always offer suggestions, but in some cases those suggestions can be long-winded and with a good coverage of suggestions it can irritating when a little more explanation could probably help the developer figure it our right away.
And don't forget to pour a for the other homies who provide wonderful help in the C# forum, like Dave and Nick!

That's about 20 messages/day. Hmm, maybe I should kick back with some Earl Grey, throw on some Pearl Jam from their "No Code" days, and relax.

Hmmm, you’re getting close to catching up with me. Time to write a bot that will randomly make posts on my behalf.

With all of the same questions on the C# forum, it wouldn't be hard to write one that actually posted something relevent. Some answers come to mind...
"Most controls in Windows Forms encapsulate Windows common controls; you can use messages to do what you want. It's already a reference type - don't use ref . Everything you need to know is in the .NET Framework SDK - just read it. Instantiating and array does not instantiate reference type elements."
That should cover most of the usual questions!

Perfect, then you could add this to your signature with the following disclaimer:
"If you did not get the answer you were looking please read my signature below for the answer to your question."

470 as of this post till I squash you (assuming you never post again, of course)! I see I'm currently #37 in the message post rankings. You're #26. Not too bad for either of us, eh? Of course, I don't think we'll ever beat Nish!

Nope, and nope, Nish has us beat by a long shot. It's always nice to have goals though!

Well, here's 4001! I forgot to NOT post my 4000th in the forums, but oh well. I'll just have to agonize over it because of my often anal habits.
Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Well, you are now well past my message count. I guess I might have to start posting more often. It would help if I didn't stay up like I did last night till 1:30 a.m. working in Java.

A couple weeks ago I was awarded with the Microsoft MVP award for the Visual Development, C# catagory! This is truly and honor and a testament of helping out the community (mostly the C# forum[^]). I just didn't want to say anything until the papers were signed.
Thanks to everyone, though, who help support the communities both here on CodeProject and elsewhere.
For more information about the MVP program, see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com[^].

It's great to see two well known CPians working in the same company.
Promise only what you can do. And then deliver more than what you promised. This signature was created by "Code Project Quoter".

There's nothing "minor" about Computer Science at all!
I'm just kidding you. As I've said before, the degree doesn't make the developer and you were contrary to most MIS I've known here at ISU anyway.
