Please not in doc format, pdf I can somewhat understand but not doc.
It will only encourage plagiarism.

Already there.
Top of the article, if there is any source code available will have a link for it.
Something like :
'Download source code - 21 KB'
'Download source files - 30.12 KB'
'Download demo application - 3.49 KB'

that is ok but one extra link might be there like
'Download source code - 21 KB'
'Download source files - 30.12 KB'
'Download demo application - 3.49 KB'
'Download All attached files - 54.61 KB'

I'm with Tom: definitely not DOC format.
I'm not convinced we need PDF format either: either link to the article (in which case you always have the latest version) or use your browser File...Save As to save the whole page as a complete web page for off-line viewing. Why complicate it with PDF writers? Not everybody has one handy...

I agree with OriginalGriff on both points. If you want a PDF version it's easy to create one locally with a PDF printer driver. I doubt that anyone really needs it in DOC format.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

That's what I do.
Get Print-friendly version, print to PDF printer driver.
I am also testing this[^], which I have to add is very much a work in progress.

I agree with 1st one because I thought some times about offline article(Don't want to save as web page) when no internet.
|
|
|
|

Then just save the page using your browser. I don't think this is a real burden.

but I think this is a burden on the users where i dont have any driver. i think if you do that this can solve users problems.
also, when im interested in keeping only arcle for offline purpose, this is extra burden on users to select the whole article and save it as pdf or printing using a pdf driver.

What about the burden on the authors who don't have any driver?

Why? If you save it as a web page, you can open it offline in your browser, and read it, or print it. No-one needs a driver.
What you are suggesting won't improve things for anyone particularly, but will make life more awkward for some. Anyone who needs a PDF version is at liberty to create one - and they can tidy it up and spend the time sorting it out. Why should anyone else do that for them, for no benefit to themselves, or the majority of the users?

i thought codeproject should keep pdf conversion like joomla cms does.
BTW, everyone needs a uniformity in his life (to keep such great articles in pdf form rather than having html files)

If you need that level of uniformity in your life, then you are welcome to convert articles you are interested in to PDF - not everybody is quite that regimented...

Hi.
I was unable to find the RSS Feeds for the Daily Insider Newsletter. I was wondering if CodeProject offers this feature. The news in the Daily Insider is usually quite interesting and worth reading. Therefore, I was planning to add that to the Visual Studio Latest News RSS. If this service is provided by CodeProject, could some please provide the url for the feed?
Thank You!

Most likely a time-out. I've just uploaded new code and the site can be a little slow while it spinds back up to speed.

I posted a tip/trick today, and once again, it's not showing up for me on the front page.
Use Custom Events from your WCF ServiceHost[^]
Using IE7/Vista.
As usual, I'll check when I get home (where I use a more capable browser).

I tried editing it and that didn't seem to work either (at least not yet). That seemed to be what got your last tip/trick to show up.

Yeah - I'm at home using FF though.
