I wasn't being rude. I began with an analogy, to demonstrate the inadequacy
of the question in terms that anyone can understand. The question cannot be
answered accurately as it stands. "The settings" is not specific enough to
determine what "settings" the poster is discussing. And the misbehavior of
the poster's application could be due to any number of factors, as the
information given was too generic to make any kind of guess whatsoever. So,
making a wild guess that the problem (not identified in any way except for
the phrase "cannot run") is due to "The settings" (not identified in any way
whatsoever), is not logical.
Yes, there are differences betwen servers and operating systems, but that is
irrelevant. We have no way of knowing ANYTHING about the cause of the
problem. In fact, we know nothing about the problem at all. If you plan to
become a "professional" programmer, first learn logic. Half of programming
is logic.
Communication is the process of providing and receiving meaningful
information. When a person asks a question, in order to get a meaningful
response, must provide meaningful information about the problem. This is one
meaning of the term "Garbage in, Garbage out," which I didn't invent.
I'm here to help people with problems they have programming in ASP.Net. In
order to resolve this poster's problem, it is first necessary to diagnose
it. In order to diagnose the problem, certain information must be provided
(you know, like going to the Doctor, and he asks "where does it hurt?"). So,
in order to solve this person's immediate problem, which is poor
communication skills, I offered help with that problem, so that, assuming
that the original poster took my advice, he would be able to provide the
information necessary to solve the other (unknown at this point) problem. By
giving him some advice about effective communication, I hoped to help him
solve future problems as well.
Now, I've been doing this for free for about 8 years now. As a compassionate
person that wants to help, and a person who spends a good bit of time
putting together detailed and explicit information for people with probems,
it often frustrates me when the people who need the help don't spend half as
much time framing their issues in ways that enable me (and the others here)
to help them. So I ended with a little joke, perhaps a bit sarcastic, but
out of frustration, not anger or malice.
YOU, on the other hand, have no help to offer. Instead, you want to publicly
castigate me for my bedside manner. The medical community has a saying:
"First, do no harm." By attacking me publicly, you have done just that, to
someone who has spent countless hours helping people voluntarily. Perhaps
you and I would both have been better off if you had either approached me
privately, or just kept your mouth shut.
