    I have no idea who approved this "tip": Calculation TextBox Control[^] - and I note it's now deleted - but it was on the main page and appeared as approved fro a while. Perhaps a quiet word about reading items prior to approval would be appropriate? As it was it was unusable: the control it lauded wasn't even attached as a download! :laugh:

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      I can indeed do that, but I'm not 100% sure the story on how this got approved. I will dig in first. I would be surprised if it were moderators because it is miraculous when technical blog entries and tips get approved without an editors hand. In my experience they don't typically get enough people looking at them and approving them to get the required five approvals. But there are no editors names associated with the public version? Somethin's weird.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        That's a relief! I'm happier with a bug in the system than "rogue moderators" approving anything their mates post... Mind you, I don't have to find and fix it :laugh:

            his other tip / trick is not much better X|

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

              Could we have a filter on number of votes, in addition to rating? Rating can get skewed by peer voting but you'd need to have a big arsenal of buddies to float to the top of the pile.

                You're always welcome to report articles as "extremely poor quality." We go through reports later and re-assess poor articles. Real bad ones can be deleted.
