What happens when...

Delete your code and try a new approach. Often we code ourselves into corners and feel that there must be a solution and our ego blinders prevent us from realizing that the mistake was with the desing and not the immediate code. (only one thing to consider, I don't actually know which problem you were speaking of so I don't know if this advice is applicable)

Well it was an incorrect data binding setup by me but because of this but it there should be some warning or workaround provided by MS for it. But any advice is good advice, even if it's bad, you just ignore it in that case.

It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

You mean what happens when you spend countless hours helping others only to find deafening silence when you need help yourself? You quickly realize that you've been associating with the human race.

You're one of the people who often answers people's questions in the forums but you're then stuck on a problem of your own and you don't have anyone to help? Penalty of being good at what you do I suppose :doh:

Why? Anyways I got my problem sorted after an innocuous hit in Google (on about the 50th page, that's how long I've been hunting for the solution). Still it provided me with yet another lesson and method of tackling similar problems.

I try to ask someone not to long out of school. You get a fresh, untainted, sometimes off-the-wall answer that may or may not be what I'm looking for, but it usually starts me thinking down a different path to where I figure out what I need to do. Also Google it but don't get booged down in the results. Sometimes that jar's my thoughts into new directions.

Ed, What was your post? Could you provide a link to it? Paul
I'd like to help but I am too lazy to Google it for you.

You find out where the MVPs hang out. Ask your question there. If the MVP doesn't know, then they have access to people at Microsoft who should have the answer. If it is a question concerning a non-Microsoft product find out where people who are experts on that product hang out. Joe Brinkman Microsoft MVP - ASP.Net

Is it a secret location that I must beat out of someone, only to find that they're strong enough and have given me the wrong place? :)
As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it

Done, first thing that happens. Well actually google with this "problem site:codeproject.com", find an answer on this site if available first :->

Wow, you sound like you were pretty determined to find the answer :) I would have given up after about 5 pages :->

Life or death situation :) Being payed for the hour so might as well randomly click on some buttons for a few hours to try and solve it. Plus the project couldn't really continue easily until I solved it. There was a work-a-round but it involved a complete redesign from the ground up X|

Putting into the perspective of being paid for it, I'd find that more motivating :)
