I don't believe your thread was a failure. After reading the posts I arrived at the conclusion that the item names did not get changed, but the parsing in your .NET program was not future proof enough to handle the latest changes to the formatting strings. If they did add a 'q' instead of an 's' you might have immediately seen that, but with the 's' thrown in you arrived at the conclusion that the names changed to plural when in fact they did not.
The code example was just something I threw together because I happened to have a visual studio with a c# application open at that moment. It was free advice which in no way was meant to offend you and I don't know why you think your code might be wrong because of it (I don't know your code). If you don't want to use it, then don't use it. Writing angry sounding responses might make me think about it twice before answering to your posts again in the future.
