There are some people who probably shouldn't be encouraged to code

I'm trying to help someone, who has a problem with inserting image data into a database. So I point him at one of my tips, which explains what he is doing wrong, and how to fix it. One line of my code is:
Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"D:\Temp\MyPic.jpg");
But this doesn't work in his code, because it complains that the file doesn't exist. It's taken us two hours since then to get to the point where he shows me his version:
Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"Browse_Image_Location");//there error comes
:doh: Please, somebody, anybody: remind me why we don't have positive vetting before letting people near computers?

For sure it would have been to much to ask for, to leave the original path in and add an comment at the end of the line like "change this path to point to your file". It's easier to make fun of people I guess, because they don't understand that this was what you meant by this useless string "Browse_Image_Location". Yeah, that's really much better. In my opinion some people just shouldn't tutor others. ;P Cheers! :^)

I figured that anyone bright enough to find this site could work out that they needed to replace the string
@"D:\Temp\MyPic.jpg"with the path to their own file...maybe I should lower my expectations when writing tips in future... :laugh:This message is manufactured from fully recyclable noughts and ones.

How do I change this pointy path thingie? Is this something I can find in the control panel? I couldn't find it on Google. ;P
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I think I misread you there, I thought you had put that silly string into the code sample. In case it was OP's doing just ignore my irrelevant post. Cheers!

Meh, leave them alone. You do realize you are promoting that boys club elitism crap that gets us all looking like douchbags because we think we are something more than someone else. Perhaps you can feel this feeling internally. At least you didn't verbally insult him. You might push the next Linus out of the race

I suggest you send him over to the people coding in VB. Marc
