I know, I am pointing out that you did not mean "insult" in your response as a matter if knowing the specific problem he want to solve.
Come on, I am in your side now  
Please read my other (comming) -hope today- response to you.

D@nish dedicates his time and talent to help others around this site consistantly, your general attitude, and that of your friend, is not welcomed. If you are a member here, then you know the rules. Specific questions, help with snippets of code, whatever. Your friends attitude sucks, and will be ignored at least by me from here on in.

Not asking a simple easy question? should it be complex?
The only rule I can thinK about is in here as almost all other forums have a rule against not giving an answer for homework question or a question is being asked from someone who don't know anything and he got a project from rentacoder site.
which rule you see in Rabih question apply on it?

No, that would mean "works here", dedicates means on his own free will, with no benefit or recognition whatsoever. You might want to brush up on your English.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: We all do that in a way or other.
No, we all don't. The original poster has not, infact he has done the opposite by scolding people, as you have as well.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: what attitude you are talking about ? pleas be specific so i can understand on you.
You attempted defense for the original poster, and the statement Samir Ibrahim wrote: but this site is well knows as insulting people.
As for the rules, well I can quote
The Rules are:
2. Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
8. Be courteous, (ed. note: his follow-up replies where not courteous in the least)
10. You might want to pay attention to this one as well: Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards.
Perhaps now you understand your mistakes as well as your friends. You don't have to be here you know.

That is your opinion built on his current behaviour which you see (as expected) normal and not rude and has no insult at all.

I still see d@nish response is rude and has insulting. that in case he understand the question.

these are the questions asked in Rabih Question. can you point to me where he ask for complete code and he was not specific?

Actually d@nish didn't insult anyone. All he did is tell the guy to try it. It's amazing what you can find out if only you try something first. The attitude d@nish got in reply was totally uncalled for.

You know the difference between vb forums (and especially this site)and the forums I spend 4 years in it (foxite) before I move to vb.net
if someone ask simple/stupid question "How I declare integer variable" and he got 10 response, here the result.
1 person : search the help file
1 person : purchase a book
8 persons : will answer showing him all the possibilities in creating an integer variable.
if that person ask the same question in here, I cannot imagine what kind of medicine he will take after he read the responses.

Would the response have really changed if d@nish's response was "What have you tried?" Somehow, I doubt it.

Here, it would have been the same kind of responses, but leaning more towards buying a book. Why? Because there's a lot more to declaring a variable to hold an Integer other than Dim x As Integer. There's also scope and visibility issues to consider. All of that discuss would take an entire chapter in a book. So, yes, buying a book and learing the basics of the language would be a better answer than Dim x As Integer.

absulotely 100%
I don't know if you was following my posts in this thread when I said "being smartass and a**hole" is helpful sometimes, that was not a joke. This is how I became.
Now, to show the you the difference/confusion and (why I accused d@nish response is insult.
If someone post a question "how to set a value to textbox", I swear I will make fun of him with all my power until he stop asking those kind of question.
but let me reverse the question,
- Rabih ask how to change multiple days backcoloring
- d@nish asnswer, Did you try it your self?
As if this multiple backcoloring system ability is obvious/noticable property and every one should know it (WHICH IS NOT), in case that was true, I am 100% with d@nish response (whatever it was) because we did not see it. (but that was not the case)
now my reverse Question
Did d@nish try it? Did he put that 2 controls on a form and try to achieve that (in simple way) before he ask his question? because if he do, he will know that this property is not there. since he did not test, (in my opinion) he should not response with such an answer)
So (my first impression) he is making fun and he has no right since he did not test it him self.
When you answer "Did you try it" or "Check the help file" the answer supposed to be obvious AND the person who answer SHOULD know that the answer exist in "TESTING" or "READING" the help file.
If d@nish answer was "What have you tried?" yes, it will make a difference, because this answer will show that either this question has no specific question in it, and d@nish did not understand in specific the problem and he willing to help when he knows. but pointing Rabih to try it by him self and the solution is not there??I guess that is wrong. What you call that?

Why should I? This ain't my job.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: because if he do, he will know that this property is not there
I knew that. He knew needed a customized control or needs to paint things himself. But, I do not believe in spoon feeding. If you are working in any programming language, you are bound to face challenges. And instead of trying something (no matter how incorrect it is) if you just seek for a ready made solution, you are wrong (IMHO) (And that too without taking pains to search the solution).

No. These are two very different replies. One just means did even gave a shot? Second means the thing is quite obvious and can be found quite easily.
Samir Ibrahim wrote: but pointing Rabih to try it by him self and the solution is not there??
It is. And the language I had used was IMO related to the way OP had asked. It was something like:
Q. Will X do Y when I put Z in it?
A. Why not try yourself?

YESS, THAT IS YOUR JOB.
When someone ask a question (in any forum) he is expecting to see an answer from expert, the expert answer should be correct. and your answer to him (althought i am now convinced it has no insult in it) is WRONG.

I am a vb programmer working as freelancer and I have 5 projects right now, so if one in my project I see a control that maybe usefull to any of application, should I re-create it AGAIAN?
I would say you are TOTALLY wrong again.
I will not re-create the wheel since someone (thankfully) has invent it before me, so I will use the wheel and adust it to my needs.
if i am searching for something and someone did it, should I NOT use it? I don't think so.
Do you have projects or working in a company? Do you want to convince me that you did not install & use already made controls or activex created by others? if your answer is yes, God be with you.

You just did not got my point.

Most of the programmers use controls/products/libraries made by others. Hence, the answer has to be yes.

If you are (untill now) still finding your answer is (helpfull, and you correctly read the question, and correctly give an answer) then be sure we have a big problem of understanding each other and we will never meet in a middle point of understanding.
Let us keep away from each other, and ended here.
If I had learned something from being a member in this forum in the past, it is,
- I will NEVER post a question in here (although, I am sure that this forum can put msdn forum in there small pocket)
- but, I may post an answer.
Like now, I had a question in my mind and I don't know if it aplicable, (untill writing this sentence I didnot make any kind of research on it) and I have no clue about it.
If I still in my current situation (did not make research) I am afraid of asking it in here. because I can imagine the response I will get, but i am not afraid of asking this question is Daniweb or msdn or vbcity.
Such a decesion in not only because of your kind of response, but because you are getting courage from your collegue to doing it.
The problem is not in you personally. The problem is in the psycological thinking of people in here.
I wish you the best in your career.

this is the only thing that captured me other then the others raging to make danish image look great.
Just to make sure i put this in the right perspective.
people like danich think they are answering school students & i will not take that behavior from him.
i am a professional just like him (supposedly).
if he asked what have you tried i will tell him:
1) i read local msdn help
2) i browsed Google from its result pages 1 to page 7
3) i asked couple of my friends, people at work if they have any idea.
4) i asked this on msdn
5) then in the end i asked here on codeproject
anyway i got my answer on MSDN, SADLY the answers were here on codeproject but my search in google did not reveal them.
Best Regards.

You are drawing conclusions way too early. I don't have anything against you or anyone. If you feel my reply was because I thought you are a student, you are plain wrong. Sorry but that is truth.

Had you told this in the first post and then even mentioned:
1. what you found
2. how you customized what you found as per your needs
3. And, where is that failing
4. All this, keeping in mind you don't post a gigantic post.
Wouldn't this have made your post a better one?

Since development work started getting outsource to the Middle East countries, especially India, there has been a huge rise in those very people asking all kinds of questions that a beginning student or very inexperienced programmer would ask. The typical level of detail when someone from that region asks a question is extremely low. There is usually no explanation of anything that was tried, nor any code snippets and a complete lack of knowledge on how to do research, like using Google or Yahoo. Your origianl post came very close to those specifications, and if there is anything we hate is someone who will not help themselves. I'd say most of the time the questions ARE coming from students, or newbies trying to make "easy" money, who have no idea what they're doing.

If you would have put all of this in your original I guarantee none of this thread whould have happened.
