Article source that won't compile
-
Why the fuck do people post articles with zip files containing projects that won't compile without tweaking the project settings? :wtf: What's even worse is when an article is two years old and the author hasn't ever bothered fixing the broken shit :mad::mad: The article that finally lit my fuse is: http://www.codeproject.com/library/vcf.asp[^] It is such a waste of time to have to mess with shit like that. TEST YOUR ARTICLE BEFORE YOU POST IT!!!!

Why don't you just write it yourself, you baby. Besides, it isn't that big of a deal anyway, it looks like the steps to setting up the project are covered in the discussion thread below the article.

:suss:"All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors."I don't think Jim Crafton will write anything like that. Step back, rub your eyes, take a deep breath, stretch a bit, and reflect on the relative importance of CP, CG, the age / travel time sustained by supposedly 'fresh' cheese curds, and Life in General. - Shog9

The reason that the artical hasn't been updated is because the author is busy making the VCF into something fairly cool. Have a look at http://vcf.sourceforge.net/index.html[^] Oh. and once the artical has been posted to the main sections he wouldn't have been able to edit it even if he wanted to.
