I'm a Web Application Developer in the Asp.Net space.  I code my applications in VB.Net but I do understand C#.  My level of coding is about at the Intermediate level but sometimes when I'm working on certain projects and run into a problem I begin to doubt my ability, but I never give up.  I also have a background in graphic design.

Question: How soon do I consider posting a question.
Answer:  I will work on trying to solve the problem myself (pride) for an extended period of time before posting a question.

My belief as a forum participant:  "Pay if forward"

Although I'm paying little to no money for answers/solutions to programming/development problems the knowledge is "worth it's weight in gold" and I look forward to answering someone's posted questions.
