Not sure about this one.

Looks plagiarised - and checking the image source got me to this: http://tutexp.com/angularjs-datagrid-paging-sorting-filtering-using-asp-net-and-mssql/[^], which was posted only yesterday.
So it could be that it's the same author.
Except...check that site "members page" (Pretentiously accessed via the Wqarriors link[^]) No name of our guy, not picture that looks like our guy.

I'm leaning toward "he's a dirty thief" - what do you guys think?

I meant how you got from the image source (which is http://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/994310/Untitled.png[^] for me) to that other article at http://tutexp.com/angularjs-datagrid-paging-sorting-filtering-using-asp-net-and-mssql/[^] ?

If you go to the "reposted" version and look at the revisions, then compare the first one with the latest, you can see the URL in the HTML. It's about one inch down on the scroll bar for me.

Alright - Firefox only shows the alt-text there so I thought there'd be no image at all but I found it in the source Smile | :)

When it was just the one (Ryan) posting that link in the lounge, it was believable.

I realy don't believe how gullible you can be.
That URL didn't look anything like it would belong to Microsoft and neither did the content.
