You've got to remember how the Internet works -- half of the packets are routed through China, and my wife is important in China, so I get quicker service.

Well China is important to my wife (Royal Doulton particularly) and I don't get preferential treatment!

But the longer a cow is standing the more likely the cow will soon lie down.
Guess I'd be great at cow science.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Another Dutchman?
It's small wonder that Dutch universities are so popular, if you can advance your academic career with research like that.

I'm trying to help someone, who has a problem with inserting image data into a database.
So I point him at one of my tips, which explains what he is doing wrong, and how to fix it.
One line of my code is:
Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"D:\Temp\MyPic.jpg");
But this doesn't work in his code, because it complains that the file doesn't exist.
It's taken us two hours since then to get to the point where he shows me his version:
Image myImage = Image.FromFile(@"Browse_Image_Location");
Please, somebody, anybody: remind me why we don't have positive vetting before letting people near computers?

For sure it would have been to much to ask for, to leave the original path in and add an comment at the end of the line like "change this path to point to your file".
It's easier to make fun of people I guess, because they don't understand that this was what you meant by this useless string "Browse_Image_Location".
Yeah, that's really much better. In my opinion some people just shouldn't tutor others.

I figured that anyone bright enough to find this site could work out that they needed to replace the string @"D:\Temp\MyPic.jpg" with the path to their own file...maybe I should lower my expectations when writing tips in future...

I think I misread you there, I thought you had put that silly string into the code sample.
In case it was OP's doing just ignore my irrelevant post.

How do I change this pointy path thingie? Is this something I can find in the control panel? I couldn't find it on Google.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

No, still don't understand!

Meh, leave them alone. You do realize you are promoting that boys club elitism crap that gets us all looking like douchbags because we think we are something more than someone else.
Perhaps you can feel this feeling internally. At least you didn't verbally insult him. You might push the next Linus out of the race

I suggest you send him over to the people coding in VB.

I tried the "Browse_Image_Location" version on my computer and it worked fine.
