    OK, so I don't want to use this to try and promote a question I asked but I would like to try and understand why I don't often get answers to them. So this, to me, is a good example of thr style I use and the response level is pretty typical :-) What can I do better or differently? Ways of implenting IEnumerable in VB[^] M

      Before reading anything, my initial impression was "whoa, this is a long question", which turned me off from responding. Reading through it, you aren't really asking a question. You are basically saying you are confused, and asking somebody to tell you "yep, you did it right; it's really that easy." Even the title of your question appears to be a statement rather than a question. In this example, I'd say you should explain specifically what about yield you do not understand or are not confident with. Otherwise, it may just be that this is a new concept to you, so your mind hasn't fully fleshed out a complete cognitive model of this functionality. Maybe create a few test scenarios to get more comfortable with how yield acts in different fringe cases. In short, I'd say your future questions should: be as short as possible, make the question clear (bolding it if necessary), have a question in the subject/title. Though, this is a case where the question didn't really need to be asked.

        I was just looking through you old questions and I came across this one. I'd say the mistake you made on this one was simple... after seeing this in your code snippet:

        (,)(,)(,)

        All I could think of was Total Recall.

            Plainly, your mistake was using VB. :-)

                Maybe I will have to watch it then - she was the best bit of the original... :laugh:

                  Clear concise questions with clear to the point code really help. BTW, no one should do the enumerator you suggested, primarily because the enumerator your created already exists. Also, the MSDN shows a good example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/9k7k7cf0.aspx[^] (See the one on galaxies) Finally, questions on approach and design in VB are generally just ignored because, well, its VB.

                      You didn't include how urgent you needed a response.
