So I am really dumb sometimes. Other times it is my obliviation to the obvious, otherwise known as true ignorance and unexplored knowledge, but certain things CAN be done in code that are allowed but should not be done. For example, there should only be one public partial class per page (as far as I can tell) and you can add multiple control types with it, for example:

instead of having 2 declarations in the page, it should look more like this:

public partial class App_UserControls_forms_Contact : System.Web.UI.UserControl, IGenericContent

Where the iGenericContent is added onto the end, making it a part of the partial class’s member list (I think). How you learn this stuff I have no idea. I’ve read documents, done searches, took a massive class on c# and .net and still don’t know a lot of what talented programmers consider basic easy common knowledge. I also have a learning disability which makes this hard as well.

I am not dumb, and programmers are not generally forthcoming when it comes time to help someone else out, especially not in the .net world. Open source is much more friendly and well, open to collaboration, even when the collaboratees are dumb as a box of sunblock. That whole teach a man to fish thing…anyway.

Any suggestions on how to learn all this “ethereal knowledge” crap easily without the head-banging?
