Hi,
OK I sorted an external hosting site that will allow hot linking and not delete the files after a period of inactivity. The problem I have now is that in such a case I won't receive any points for downloads. That's 60 odd already and it's only been up 2 hours. I take it I'm in a situation of like it or lump it??? 
Cheers
Chris

It's true. You won't get reputation, but you will get love and appreciation. Old school. Thanks for your assistance and patience along the way.

I am currently writing an article on an automated/one-click online update class and application.
The article is based on something I use in a larger context - automatically rolling out online updates without using ClickOnce.
I have a couple of questions:
(a)Do you think this will be of interest to people? - I ask this because I am aware that many developers use ClickOnce.
(b)If the answer to (a) is yes - Would someone be willing to look at my article so far and provide me with some feedback (I can pass on the URL of where the article is presently stored).
Thanks

Thanks Chris
I shall put some more work into tidying it up and submit it through the template and editor route(I noticed typos and and the article needs some work on it first).
I posted the question as I felt I was re-inventing the wheel - however I now realise sometimes it's a good thing to re-invent the wheel when it comes to software.

Hello,
Am new here and am somewhat curious. Is it possible for one's article rating to go down after being UPVOTED? Anything like negative votes or weights?
My article Genetic Algorithm - A 'Walt Disney' Introduction[^] had a rating of 4.80. It was later upvoted twice (both 5's) and is now 4.65. Can someone please edify me?
thanks,
Regards

Hi all, and apologies if this question gets asked a lot.
I submitted a tip (Type aliasing in using declarations) on friday and it is still in a pending status.
- How long to tips normally take to get approved?
- If there is any improvement necessary in the tip where should i be looking for feedback from the approvers?
Please forgive my slight impatience and put it down to an over-eager newbie to CP (it's my first submission so I'm curious to see if its up to scratch)
many thanks

You probably need to add some more information to the tip before it will be approved. As it stands, it's fairly lightweight and you haven't sufficiently clarified when you need to do this, e.g. where you have name clashes between classes in multiple namespaces. If you really want your tip to shine, try adding in a bit of IL to show what the underlying effect of doing this is - low level details always go down well.

Thanks, I'll try to flesh it out a bit but the murky depths of IL are bit much for me on a monday

That's what tools such as Reflector or JustCode are for.
|
|
|
|
|
I have now fleshed it out a little and added the IL to demonstrate that the alias is purely pre-compilation

And that gets you your first vote for approval. Unfortunately, you need 4 more votes I believe before it gets promoted.

*waits in eager anticipation*
Thanks for taking the time to look at it and for your guidance in getting it up to scratch

No problem. Glad to be of service.

My Article was Deleted at this link:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/web-security/StuxnetMalware.aspx
The Reason for deletion is:
"has been deleted because it copies in whole or part the material in the article at [http://ispy.infospyware.net/images/2010/MrxCls-Stuxnet-Loader-Driver-English.pdf]. We take plagiarism seriously - please respect the rights of others." by Sean Ewington
But I'm the same Author of both two articles ... and I decided to merge the two articles ... you can check that yourself and you will see the Author is Amr Thabet
Please I need to restore it very soon
Thanks,

I'm working on an article at the moment and I'm finding that there are lots of interesting little side notes - often the additional knowledge is helpful to those more familiar with the subject, but overkill to those who are reading through for the first time. Ideally I'd like to be able to put these in some form of call out box thingie, much like you might find in a Dummies book. Not that I would admit to reading a Dummies book you understand.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what sort of markup I can use for this sort of callout box, as I am aware that extra markup would normally be removed on submission?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, I normally mark it up using the address tag or the italic tag.
|
|
|
|

Hey Pete,
Thanks for the response. I guess these would do the job! I should have thought of italics myself, but the address tag is a new one to me.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I recently posted a tip[^], and today wrote a response to a comment on the tip. I noticed that when I deleted my early-version comments, they still 'show up' when I visit that page. I'm curious if I can see the deleted comments because I am logged in, but no one else can ... or, do they ... by design ... persist for a while ?
... edit ... strike the above: I logged-out of CP, and verified that the deleted comments were not visible while logged-out. duhhh-oh ...
Second, I noticed someone has taken their time to re-format the tip so it uses CP style font/font-size/color tags for sub-heads, and a monospaced font for .NET objects and operators: is that common ? I hadn't thought about what it meant to set 'Editors' for a tip to 'Platinum members' ... in fact, I realize that: I have never looked to see exactly what a 'Platinum' member 'is.' 
... edit ... I now realize the formatting was done by a CP editor, thanks ... I finally looked up what a Platinum member is ... and now I can't forget ...
If anyone reading this can notify Henry Minute, I'd really appreciate his looking at the tip, and its comments, and responses, since his 2009 CP article is mentioned/discussed in it. His feedback would be very valuable.
thanks, Bill

Since you are able to post here why are you not able to contact Henry?

Hi Richard,
In his posts, Henry does not enable e-mail ... I don't either. I am reluctant to post what is essentially a private message on the Lounge.
However, now that you mention that, I think I'll leave a note for him on the feedback section of his 2009 article, so thanks for jogging my memory !
best, Bill
