      I realise this probably happens all the time - I have found someone passing off code I published in an article on codeproject as their own - they could not even be bothered changing the name of the app :laugh: I was just merrily googling my applications, being the narcissist that I am :-\ and found this Clickety Suggestions for what fate should await them gratefully received...

      IF he fails to respond to your polite requests, report it in suggestions/bug reports. Chris will have a chat with the person running c-sharpcorner to arrange the distribution of larts.

        Just want to say thanks to everyone for their suggestions and comments. I never expected to get so many suggestions so quickly - I think this is what I appreciate about codeproject... :)

            Point out the obvious bugs to the boss? How do you prove you aren't the pirate?

            Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                  Article post dates? It seems to be a fairly safe metric.

                              He has just responded quickly with an email. "Yes you are right Guy Thiebaut i will add your reference ...i forgot to add." Forgetting to add a reference is very different to claiming to have written it yourself when you have lifted the entire codebase. Makes you wonder how many other things he has nicked and claimed as his own...

                                      Neither do I. Along with uploading it to C-Sharp Corner, he also has it posted on his blog[^], you should definitely target him there as well. It really does make me wonder what else he's trying to proffer as his own.

                                        Really? His profile says CSharpCorner MVP (not Microsoft MVP).
