The Secret to Success

While testing and debugging an admin page in .NET 2.0 today, I was curious as to why a message confirming the submission had succeeded was being displayed before any submit action was taken. Perhaps something was being updated when the page loads. Perhaps it wasn't checking Page.IsPostBack. I then found the server side code block that displays the message:

if (!string.IsNullOrVoid("success")) {
    message.Text = "You submission was 
                   completed successfully.";
}

There you have it. An infallible way of assuring users and superiors that your code works perfectly.
