Will we be seeing some real XNA content under the C# section soon?
It might just be me, coming from an Xbox homebrew background, but this could be pretty big, and even with the nice XNA framework, there is a LOT of room for improvement on existing classes, as well as utility classes (like Font management). Developers can work on XNA apps for free, in Windows, so anybody with a desire to jump into game programming will have some incentive to try it out.
Doing an article search, I don't see a single article that actually deals with XNA (the lone result mentions XNA in passing).

Doesn't this depend on us to write the content? If there are no articles on it and nobody has started to write them, then there is no need for a section.

Indeed it does.
I may have some things to contribute, but the first one I'm thinking of doing - Fonts in XNA, will depend on myself re-writing a tool that appeared in the Xbox XDK from scratch, to avoid stepping on any copyright issues.
Font support in the existing XNA samples are crap, and I spent a bit of time enhancing support in my own XDK projects, so I'm currently creating C# classes and enhancing the tool to generate fonts. I'll probalby re-write the tool to be more friendly, but I've already made changes to generate XML (which gets read in by the XNA app to define a font). The re-written tool would also allow you to generate fonts from bitmaps (currently it creates a bitmap from a Windows Font, along with glyph definitions).
I guess XNA submissions should go to the C# Games category for now, but once there are more than a few articles, it really should have it's own category.

Absolutely. We've been discussing a games category for some time now.

Hi All,
I like to give my articles a professional look and feel by adding a description befow a figure. Below is the generic TABLE which groups the Figure and Description for me.
Is there a way to get a footnote size other than
<TD align="center" size=-1>Decription</TD>
It is not as portable as I would like. I did not see it in the Code Project Style Sheets. There is a similar Style for Lists and Downloads. For example:
< P Class="footnote" >Description< /P >
or
<TD align="center" class="footnote">Decription</TD>
Sorry about the non-conventional < P > - CodeProject needs to introduce a Smiley Tag: <SMILEY> ; P </SMILEY> or have the markup tool run before the Smiley tool.
Jeff
< P >
<TABLE border=0>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD><IMG src=""></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center">Decription</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</P>

H6 would almost do it, except for the font color change...
H6
{
color: #626262;
font-size: 65%;
font-weight: normal;
}
|
|
|
|
|
To be resolution-safe, images would have to be constrained to 640 pixels wide, and the table would have to include that constraint.
<TABLE border=0 width="640">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD width="640" align="left" valign="top"><IMG src="blah.jpg"><br />
<font style="font-weight:bold;font-height:9px;font-style:italic;">Figure 1.0</font>
<font style="font-weight:nortmal;font-height:9px;font-style:italic;">
Blah blah blah</font>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
If you want to use HTML braces in a code block (like I did), you have to use "& lt;" and "& gt;" without the spaces I embedded. Here's a link for html escape codes for future reference:

Hi John,
Thanks. I wanted to avoid the inline style. I was hoping the Code Project would define it for easy use. The Project has a global Style Sheet. See Global CSS[^].
As a side note, when those who submit start making their own decisions on what constitutes size of a footnote and the like, the site begins to lose it's professional look and feel.
> images would have to be constrained to 640 pixels wide
My rule of thumb is 500 to keep it printer safe.

People still use printers?

There is the SmallText style. Is that enough? Or would you prefer a specific Caption style?

Hi Chris,
Which do you suggest to keep in spirit with the Code Project look and feel?
Jeff

If it makes sense to have a specific caption style then I'll add it. If you use SmallText instead then it saves me a whole 5 minutes

I vote to make Chris work for it.

There is now a "Caption" class in the style sheet.

Neither is Mobile development.

the newsletter says:
"It is also article voting time so please visit the homepage for the voting pages and give those authors who helped you last month a little pat on the back."
This sounds like a nice idea. Too bad I can't locate this "homepage for the voting pages" place, so I can't visit it. Oh well.

Go to the homepage (http://www.codeproject.com[^]) and you will see, right near the top, a list of links to click on to vote for the articles.

sorry. I still don't see it. Could it be because I use Firefox?
At the top of the page I see The Code Project logo at left, a banner ad at right. Immediately below that I see:
Home MFC/C++ C# ASP.NET .NET VB.NET All Topics
...on the left side, and:
Help! Articles Message Boards StoreFront Lounge
...on the right side. Nowhere do I see "Vote" or "Voting"...
I can't use search to find the voting page because it's not an Author or an Article.
There are no options in the Articles dropdown that are obvious choices, either -- I see:
Latest; Most Popular (could that be it? didn't see it at that page); Search (couldn't find it there); Site Directory (nor there); ...
I can't find any reference to voting for favorites, although I see "most popular"... does that just mean "highest average rating"? most page views?
I just wanted to "pat on the back" 2 authors who helped me. It may be really easy, but not for me, unless it's just based on the "rate this article" (which I did).
If I ever get the answer I s'pose I'm bound to feel stupid, but obviously I'm used to that by now

Read down a bit further. Below "Welcome to The Code Project", below "Join CodeProject Today", you'll see: Current Surveys. Click on any of the links in that box...

It could be because you have the observational skills of a two-slice toaster.
Seriously, it really is kinda hard to see - it's Labeled "Current Surveys" (which is NOT the best naming they could have come up with), and it's right above the "Feature Article" block (which is somehow easier to see - go figure).
