Not at all. Programming is a serious discipline, and an exact science. It requires much and continuous study and hard work to be successful at. There are no short-cuts. The first poster obviously had no idea what ASP was (was talking about "on Normal HTML tags, I can do the following"), and was now attempting to delve into the complex object-oriented real-word programming discipline of ASP.Nedt. I told him what he needed to hear, that one should not fool around with such technologies, but should undertake the discipline and work necessary to be successful in them.

The second person began by stating that he knew the "technical differences" between Session and ViewState. In order to know the technical differences between them, one must know the technical details of each. If that is so, one knows which one to use, when to use it, and how to use it. I'm not sure what he was trying to imply, but it was unnecessary and false. Since programming involves a relentless logic, I used logic to illustrate the point.

Now I realize that telling people the hard truths of life is not a pleasant task, but as my Uncle Chutney sez, "if the truth hurts, wear it." What this means is that the sweetest of lies is more bitter than the most bitter of truths. Somebody has to care more about the person they are communicating with than their own reputation and/or comfort level, and be willing to endure scorn and criticism for doing so. How can one claim to be helpful if one is not willing to give the bitter medicine that heals, rather than the tasty placebo that allows the patient to continue in sickness, while loving the doctor who has given them a clean bill of health?

If you read the majority of my messages, you will see that I bend over backwards to help those who are at all willing to help themselves. Since your question is not of a confrontational and accusatory nature, that includes yourself, and your question! I hope that my explanation has been satisfactory in doing so.

And now, back to my diet of locusts and wild honey.....

Oh what a snob! So much for being a MVP.
