Sharp (#) Problem :)

Hiya all,

my holidays just started... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... and ran head on into a problem with the stupid *.chm files I got myself from work (yeah yeah yeah... holidays and such, I know).

Buuut... none of these things would open, displaying a nasty 'Page cannot be displayed' on the right hand side of the window.
Now there are quite a few solutions to this, of which none worked.. always got that dreaded IE comment about my *.chm... rats.

Though, on a lonely site in the MS databases if found an interesting, yet vital fact... listen up people, there's going to be a test :)

IF the path to the CHM contains a '#' it won't display.

Now imagine my path: 'C:\Data\AD-Migration\C#\Tools\GroupBouncer\Help'... great

Exchanged every occurence of '#' with 'Sharp' (using a quick-hack-prog in CSharp :) ) and BEHOLD THE EMPEROR'S NEW... *looks at scroll again*... errrrr... OLD CHM's!

I hope I at least save somebody's time with this little note... drop me a line... or a beer... well.... thinking that over... AND a beer :)

Regards,
Dirk

Starting to fiddle with LINQ... I think...
