I really feel the author of this article is copying and pasting code from other outside sources without any citations or proper references. I think this author has been dealt with before (last couple of days). Maybe one of the hampsters can show this person to the path of enlightenment.
The entire first sentence right under the heading "Variance" comes from a book on Google books.
Article in question.
c# 4.0 new features[^]
Sorry if I am out of line here.
[Edit] POH found the entire article on a China website (see below). Interesting.

In attempting to find this reference, I came across this site[^].
|
|
|
|
|
I'm speechless. Quite sad actually.

Also I checked this but the publish dates for these two are same, so Ignored to post it here.
But not sure that blog is author's or not..

The plot is thick on this one. Taking a closer look at that Chinese website.
As for the author, I've reached out to offer guidance.

"Generic DataGridView V2.0"

Unfortunately link for download source files is wrong.
It pointed to the same files from previous version (with BUGs)
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?aid=14674&av=42646
Please solve this.

Hi,
1.
you could post a message in the article's forum; that way the author would get a mail notification.
Not sure it would help in this particular case as he hasn't been active here for almost two years it seems.
2.
CodeProject does not keep versions for images, downloads, etc; it only versions the article text itself. So if the ZIP name in both article versions is the same, then both would now point to the same ZIP (which could be the original one, or a more recent one, not sure, the file dates seem pretty old).
3.
There is something strange about the dates anyway: the article's revision 2 is older than revision 1!

Also, how come when I click on the Shield of Protectiveness that it gives me a "page not found"? How did Heath Stewart become the PROTECTOR? Inquiring minds want to know.

I found this in Membership type[^] page.
The Code Project Protector
These dedicated members help ensure that a million members sending hundreds of articles each week do the right thing. They can moderate and remove inappropriate articles, edit eye-straining formatting and move under-performing (or recovering) articles to and from Purgatory. If you see an article that needs attention then let these guys know. Spot them in the forums by their protectors icon *protector*.

So they are protectors of truth, decency, high morals, and illegal font styles. I want one of those shields. Where do I sign?

Old, old, old member badge from the early part of last decade. They were meant to be deprecated about 6 years ago but I never had the heart because I love the icon so much.
Maybe we'll resurrect it one day...

It is a mighty fine icon I must say.

I'm having an issue with Bookmarks not working.
When I click the Bookmark icon, it briefly changes to a circular progress and then back to the Checked Star, but it never really bookmarks the article.
I tested this in IE 9 and Chrome 11.

I'm having the exactly the same issue...
But i found a workaround,
view the article you want to bookmark and then click on the right part of the link right below the menubar (in front of the link is a small house icon, thats a link like "where am I").
Now you are getting a list of all aticles in that chapter... find your article and move your mouse to the articles caption... then another bookmark link appears, this one works (at least for me)

I'm not as active on this site as I us to be, but once upon a time I was a C# MVP posting between 600-800 respones mainly in the C# forum per month for several years (well, at that volume probably about 1.5 years or so). That was back before 2005. Are reputation points calculated that far back? Given my "Authority" reputation score it would seem not, but it seems that Author reputation points are more or less correct.

your rep graph[^] seems to suggest you wrote some articles before you had any Authority indeed.

Which is another reason I know it's wrong.
One of the reasons I got an MVP in 2004 is partly because of the amount fo community support I did on CodeProject - all the C# forum at that time.
If reputation is calculated all the way back, did perhaps the relationship of "programming forums" to the old/new "C#" forum change?

I don't know the definitive answer to your question; AFAIK all available logs have been processed (*), so maybe there was no voting system back then, or the votes weren't logged then.
BTW: the "protector" hyperlink in your bio isn't functioning at the moment.
(*) except for downloading files (which have been processed since earlier this year only; older ones will be added, and all of them will be reduced in value).

I don't think they did but shouldn't just having posted one count?

Reputation points are calculated back to the dawn of time, but the issue is now from when they are calculated, but on what data are they calculated.
Forum reputation is based on the questions and answers you post as well as the votes on your questions and answers. Until August 2005 we only had "posts", but after August we labelled posts as questions, answers, general etc.
Authority points are awarded when you answer a question or when your answer is upvoted. Unfortunately for you, life dragged you away from the site just after we made these changes, so your posts, labelled "general" were never counted towards your rep.
However, I'm rerunning the rep calculator as soon as we work through a perf issue and I will reassign posts as "questions" or "answers" through a mix of guesswork and keyword searching. You should get a bunch of points owing.

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I try to make it back here from time to time. Nice to see so many familiar names still.
