Regarding Answer Downvoting

Manas_Kumar

Hi All, I am new to CodeProject. So I have little idea on Answer DownVoting. Few days back I started answering in CodeProject. But I am getting answer as Downvoted. Suppose I am missing something in my answer then they can add comment to improve answer. Please suggest me so that onwards I will not do the same. Thanks

Generally, it is expected that Members should make a comment as to why he/she is down voting something. If they don't,ignore that downvote and try to improve that answer if necessary. Afterall, we are here to help others,not for reputation points. Good luck!

Looking through your recent answers, the only one that seems to have been down-voted was this one[^], which I downvoted because you'd introduced a SQL Injection vulnerability into the code. I explained the problem in a comment. You have since fixed the code in your answer, so I've updated my vote. It's still not the right answer, but at least it's not dangerously wrong any more. Forget that - I see you've added the SelectionMode property as well, which was the real cause of the problem. :)
