Not an appropriate place to post that (granted I didn't read it all), but not spam or abuse. Just a new(ish) user getting his bearings.

Not all but quite a few of this members, http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/MemberPosts.aspx?tab=answers&mid=8750093[^] answers such as PDF Document Reading in C#.net using itext sharp.[^] all seem to point to this third party control suite.

Cool or not?

Incidentally, both your recent reported question were deleted by me. And I found that out when I came here to report them. Smile | :)

I'm not sure you should delete them - just flag them as spam and report them here - that way others can see and decide if they deserve a spammer report on the poster. Which helps to get rid of them all the quicker.
If the text of the offending messages is deleted, then we have to assume that whoever did it is truthful. While I'm sure you wouldn't try any such shenanigans, there are a few people I wouldn't trust... Laugh | :laugh:

I was going to ask this very question - if we should delete these spams or not? I always thought why should be bother the admins here if we can help them just by a click. But your post has a point and I won't be deleting them from now. Thanks!
