Does it? Which version of .NET are you using?
The only overload listed on MSDN is string.Contains(string) .

Are you sure you're not getting confused by seeing the extension method in the intellisense list?

I get an email whenever there's an error on my webapps. We recently initiated a service to do Red-Siren testing; e.g., testing for any security issues.
Got an error message today.
Of most interest, and danged funny at that, is the unedited, verbatim "Error Message" from Microsoft's lovely .NET Framework ... (emphasis added)
URL: https : / / www.RedactedWebSite.com /SomeWebApp/ThatLoginPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSomeWebApp%2fDefault.aspx%3faction%3dppr&action=ppr%3CScript%20%3Ealert(%22HelloSIG%22)%3C/Script%3E
Error Date: [redacted]
Error Message: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was
detected from the client (action="ppr<Script >alert("Hell..."
Albeit a little late (going on 7+ years of .NET programming...), thanks for the warning Microsoft!

I encountered one once that amused me so much I taped a screenshot of it on my office door. It consisted of nothing but an exclamation point icon and the two words:
"Catastrophic Failure"

Well, it can't be clearer, Everything is wrong! time to run like a headless chicken!

My favourite from Microsoft has to be
"There has been an error"
I've also seen reports of one thats just a blank dialog box without even an OK button to make it go away!

I once got an error message from a 3rd party component:
"Don't know what to do"
Seriously?!

This is easy. I am staring at (VB.NET):
A call to PInvoke function 'exam123-DB!exam123.Exam123F::Sleep' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
|

That's a perfectly reasonable error message:
- It's aimed at developers, so it can assume you'll know, or be able to find out, what managed, unmanaged and PInvoke mean;
- It tells you what's wrong; (your PInvoke method signature)
- It tells you where the problem is; (the import of exam123-DB!exam123.Exam123F::Sleep)
- It tells you how to fix it; (correct the signature)
It can't do much more for you, since unmanaged methods don't have enough metadata for the compiler to tell you what the correct signature should be.

Biggest error I ever seen is "Your Windows is successfully installed". Yes, it was MY fault. )

Have you considered fixing yourself?

Tried many times - with OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD, QNX... hell knows how I hate ugly Windows but still have to use it. Now I'm developer, hooked on .NET;

I personally really hate the error GDI throws whenever anything goes wrong.
"A generic error has occured in GDI+".
Like, 'You don't say' much?

In many database solutions folk tend to use tables with one to many relationships in order to hierarchal data where as the following achieves the same.
ID - Field1 - Field2 - ParentID

2 xx yy 1

I won't downvote you for this but it is entirely the wrong place to post your code. If you really want to post this turn it into an article.
I would remove it rather quickly if I were you, before it does get downvoted and obliterated.

Top of Page: The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.
I'm guessing the OP thinks this is a brilliant data structure (though I don't agree).
