Nope, it's just you... The rest of us were happily using it for that entire time...
But just to mess with you, we promptly deleted all of our threads mere minutes before you were allowed back in... It was the most elaborate CodeProject prank ever concocted!

Wow, you even managed to fool downforeveryoneotjustme. That was elaborate.

Yeah I figured they were doing a major upgrade and was expecting a new purple with glitter color scheme.
Maybe they ran out of hamster food?

We were hit by a DDOS attack, and while our servers can handle massive loads, one of the hamsters panicked and chewed through the network cable. All seems to be up and running now. Also, we fed the hamsters.

Time for you to send out the attack hamsters. The hamsters of war. Cry havoc and utnleash the hamsters of war.

It's the holidays. The best we can do is mildly irrated hamsters drinking spiked mulled cider singing raunchy versions of Christmas songs.

No, that is sanity, and it is a gift.

Who would do such a thing to a website dedicated to help others? ...idiots...

Idiots/script kiddies or blackmailers.
I certainly hope it's not blackmailers. And if it is, I'd personally prefer a few more blackouts than Chris et al. giving in!

CP was down?
Didn't know that. (Last time I was here was 11:00 AM, give or take a few hours)

Is there anyone out there who is forced to use ini files or are most companies out of the 90's and allowed to use a config file?
|

|
|
|
Is there anyone out there forced to eat chocolate chip cookies or do most companies allow and even require that everyone eats oatmeal raisin?
But realistically there are very few technology silver bullets. Relational databases, object oriented programming and html do fit into the silver bullet category.
app.config although amusing does not.
|
|
|
|
|
Explain to me what actually is wrong with ini files that app.config improves upon.

I'm not really trying to argue the point, but XML allows schemas to enforce structure and validity.

The use of a standardized parser maybe?

They don't fit the Microsoft "if it's too easy we need a more complex system" model.

what is wrong? nothing! but what is right? being forced to use kernel calls and the limitations of them, let alone some of those functions no longer work properly is even more of a pain. I am not talking about old code, I am referring to brand new projects
the ability to have tightly typed data as an input parameter, allowing customizations to be saved by user is huge. all this by adding a setting. yes you could do the same thing by having layers of ini files, but why? the ability is there with settings and its all managed for us and its easy to work with. Ever try binding an ini to a property grid with 4 lines of code? you can with app.config

There are no kernel calls (beyond file I/O) in either system. And the use of app.config versus .ini is purely a choice of the application developers. Neither system is better than the other.

Those are the ones I am referring to. Currently some do not work, and others require the first line to be blank. I was under the impression they are or were to be depreciated by MS with Windows 8 and removed entirely in 10, can anyone confirm?
And for the record, I do not use them unless I am caught, my borrowed and updated routine is much better

There is of course a very large difference between saying one type is better than the other versus whether the built in api no longer works.
However creating a ini file reader should be an exercise in triviality for an experienced developer. I can do it all of the languages I know with the possible exception of SQL (where it could be done but I just don't know how off hand). And as a matter fact I am rather certain have in fact created my own ini APIs in the past.
