Suggestionthoughts: articles, tip-tricks, and (?) hints ? Pin

Hi,

Disclaimer I: I think the CP editing/revision/mentoring facility "as is" is great !

For those of you who wish to skip my usual wallow in verbosity: a summary:

1. we now have Articles, Tips-Tricks, topic-language-etc.-specific Forii

2. should there be a another category of shared technical "tidbits," where the amount, and depth, of content, is relatively small/shallow (compared to what you see, in general, on Articles, Tip-Tricks, now) ?

3. I humbly suggest CP consider a third category: let's call it, tentatively: "Hints."

4. What might a "Hint" be like:

a. fully tagged

b. very clear, and specific, in its title

c. clearly identifies the context which it is relevant to.

e. not long, code included: short

d. contains a how-to, a work-around, or a solution, or a caution, or useful-whatsoever, for some difficulty in practical programming in .NET, or whatever.

e. we leave to the Elven Rep-Meisters the awesome task of figuring out much a "Hint" is worth Smile | :)

And, now, for those of you with extra neurons for gnosis in your Broca's Area:

Disclaimer II: I have no problem, and no complaints, if ever anything I might submit to CP would be "closed:"

Just recently, I submitted a tip-trick, and, then, was notified that my "article" was "closed."

I should say that I am pretty sure I chose to submit a tip-trick, but now ... I wonder ... once a social worker: you always doubt yourself ... whether that's an effect of the training and practice, or part of the reason one chooses such a vocation ... is perhaps best left as unplumbed as why a person spends hours playing first-person shooter/splatter/gore video games Smile | :)

Even though, at the time I wrote up the tip-trick, I wondered if it was such an "edge case" ... in this case an inconsistency in the way a certain less commonly used WinForm style behaves ... that it would be of very limited relevance to other people:

But, having spent a few hours tearing my hair out (I'm happy to tell you that, at age sixty-nine, I have a full-head of beauteous silver-colored hair) wondering why what seemed straightforward didn't work: I then decided to transform my wrath against Sauron of Redmond, into a warning to others who might stray along the path I took.

Probably, assuming I did post a Tip-Trick, I screwed something up, in editing it, where it was submitted as an article: is that possible ?

alzheimerically, Bill
