Pete,
If you miss the clues, fine, you need icons. It may be the case that others do not need icons (or laugh tracks) to get some fun or ideas out of it.
Why put down something and possibly ruin it for others? Do you speak for everyone?
So now this "topic of discussion" is flagged WTF. Nobody would want to even try to discuss the topic, because they too might be branded WTF.
And this side thread seals the deal ... noone will ever want to discuss or investigate something I genuinely thought would be fun and interesting to discuss.
There will be no more discussion here. The judges have spoken WTF (sound of gong in background).
Over and out.

Where did I do this? I merely stated that you the joke icon would have been clearer if you were wanting to use a bit of humour.
If you want critique, then fine - the original post is far too long, and far too matey to grab my attention. Forcing me to scroll down so far in a post is a sure way to lose people - and stop them reading it. Now, I didn't vote the post a WTF, but really - step back and view it dispassionately. While the core of your idea was probably sound, could you not have covered it in a smaller post, whereby you would have had more positive feedback.

Pete,
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, did not mean to put you in the WTFer catagory.
Yes, it was a long post, kind of blogish. But as such, it had no more words than a small article in a daily newspaper or any one of the CodeProject articles. The example code took up a good part of the post ... probably should have left that out.
But:
When is it the responsibilty of the writer to spoon-feed the reader? IE: engage the reader, keep it short and simple, place icons appropriately.
And when is it the reader's responsibily to pick up and use their own spoon? IE willingness be challanged and to explore the unreviewed and uncatagorized, deciding on their own what they get out of it?
That was, in fact, the point of the article. Engage the brain and read the code. Suffer through the blogish like code and articles (guilty). Force yourself to scroll down. It may bring rewards.
Is this really ArticlesProject.com?

Then it should have been a blog. Don't get me wrong, I did find it an interesting diversion, but the forums aren't really the place for it. They are just formatted all wrong to cope well with this. Instead, why not put it in a blog in it's full format, and then include a summarised version here (with a link to your blog post)?

Well, that's effectively where CP started. There's still a heavy leaning towards this.

Yeah I think that's what lost me. This isn't where you post articles, just ideas about articles.

You should have posted this in 'Suggestions and Bug Reports' forum. Nevertheless other article posting guidelines are here: http://www.codeproject.com/info/submit.aspx[^]. However, still this guidelines does not seem to mention about any upper size.

You have already been told this is the wrong forum - so why did you repost the question here? Seriously, why?

I like how the chap 1-voted me for it, too. Geeze. He can't take constructive criticism? He needs to move along and get a brain.

It's all right - I 5ed it to sort it out.

Thanks. I don't mind 1-votes when scolding someone for something they did wrong, such as posting in the wrong forum, using words like urgent, or just being plain rude and being called on it. I figure when they 1-vote it, they are just plain immature or stupid, or both.

We have to rather 5-vote them for their honest endeavors in showcasing their stupidity to the world.

I have following code snippet at page load event.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "alert('hello')");
Button2.Click += new EventHandler(Button2_Click);
}
}
button1 display the alert message when we click on that.
But when i click on button2, it doesn't fire Button2_Click event. Why?
Althouh if i comment "if (!IsPostBack)" line, the code working fine.
hello

Arrgggh. This is an ASP.NET question, yet this is PLAINLY NOT an ASP.NET forum? Are you planning on writing an article on this, or did you just randomly click on the links.
Anyway, because I'm still in vaguely a good mood, I'll answer it. The simple fact is that a web form is stateless, so you need to reattach the event handlers EACH TIME you post back.
|
|
|
|
|
then why Button1 click event fire without attaching again?

That's not a server side event handler.

Because you are not capable of (including to make a good choice of correct technical forum) programming.
