This is how the list appears to me:
• ASP.NET Popup Control
• The Standalone Programmer: Tips from...
• Universal Table Editor
• SQL Server DO's and DONT's
• A Session Data Management Tool
This hasn't changed in a long time. I don't see the "ToDo list" (?)...

The list that is shown depends on the active tab on the front-page. If you select All Topics, you'll see the ToDo list and other articles.

Ok, I need to clarify my question:
For the ASP.NET topics, the Most Popular list has not changed in a long time...
In other words, I don't think the list truly reflects the most popular (ASP.NET) articles.

Maybe the top 5 articles haven't changed in that long? The last time the C++ list changed was when the "three ways to inject code" article appeared and got pimped by the readership up to the top 5.

Hello,
I didn't find a forum for these types of messages, but I just want to let the CP team know that there are a lot of strange errors lately besides the ad errors.
The errors occur mostly when I want to post a reply to a message or when I click on a message so that it will expand. The page just goes to the errors page and says that an unknown error occurred..
I wonder whats going on.

I had a rather horrible experience with a project I was given to do in C# and a sample to go by. It was an example of such a database done via northwinds, but the sample did a horrible thing. It kept catching an error and without putting up a message or logging the error, it just rethrew the error and enclosing catches would change the type of error until the resulting error pointed at a line that had nothing at all to do with my error at all, and gave a message saying my line was at fault, when there was nothing wrong.
What did I learn?? Never, ever ever rethrow an error without informing the user/programmer or at least logging the error so the programmer aka victim, doesn't spend a day or two trying to debug code that isn't at fault. Such a section somewhere on code project separated by categories might help us all.

In addition to Prev & Next, it would be nice to have a Previous/Next Thread link since some threads seem to take numerous pages long.
How about using |< << < > >> >| for First, Thread, Prev, Next, Thread, Last?

Have you tried Thread View? Not that it's perfect, but it's an option.

I have. I prefer to see them all since I have a cable modem. However, there are times when I need to skip a thread since it's going nowhere and I need to find something mentioned earleir on and the search engine is just not worth it. <insert>breath</insert>

One trick is to reply to the first post of a thread and the reloaded page will show the first post of the next thread.
|
|
|
|

This won't work for previous threads though. You can only iterate in the forward direction (or chronological backward direction).
|
|
|
|
|
And if everybody does that, soon you'll have plenty of junk posts just to move forward (or backward) in time. Chris would probably kill us.

Greetings! I'm just replying so as to help those in admin on codeproject realize that this is an issue needing addressing. I've been lucky so far, no abuse about my article I wrote, but I know that this kind of behavior should not be tolerated, because it chases off potential contributors, customers for the companies advertising here.
I know, I fear the ratings sytem here, I've seen other places, not here, where sadists took pleasure in giving a 1 rating to posts that even the moderators came out and cheered. I would hate to see this kind of thing happen here. This stuff needs to be nipped in the bud.

I don't really see the rating system to be all that bad. If the article generates enough interest it is essentially self correcting. Only on articles for subjects that are not of mainstream interest is is problematic because there may not be enough votes to overwhealm the disruptive individual.
Certainly, I feel I've improved because of the ratings system because some of my earlier articles were not rated as highly as I'd have liked. I looked for examples of highly rated articles to see what makes a good contribution and tried to learn from that.
But, back to forum postings, these rude idiots can be really hurtful, especially to someone who may make early mistakes but would be willing to correct them. I was lucky, with my first articles I had comments from people like Heath Stewart (who now works for Microsoft) who actually took time to correct any errors in the article.

I don't say the rating system was a bad thing. I only related an experince about another url where a few could abuse the ratings system, and get away from it, and nobody cared.
I am glad that it is not so open to abuse as it was on that other URL where it was open to abuse because over there, the vast population at that URL were those that either never rated an article, and never paid attention to the ratings, and those who abused it as a griefing tool.

I can understand your anger, it is very disturbing to make so many efforts to make valuable articles (and yours certainly are) and get in return such abusive comments. However, I'm not sure any move is required to 'punish' the authors of such childish posts: by their behavior they exclude themselves from the community (and way, way beyond - some CPians are very influential in the IT field and elsewhere), they are the first victims of their abusive statements.

Yeah, Chris Maunder actually told me the same thing, I am a slow learner when dealing with people sometimes. Thanks Karl, I appreciate your support and input. I wrote this right after a particular knuckle head started in with me, so I was kinda stiff. No problem, I am learning that negativity and smart-aleck-ness in blog time is usually hiding a small mind...Live and learn?

How about separating VS.NET 2005 projects from all other versions of VS.NET, particularly where 2005 is "beta" code, exclusive of production versions, and not particularly well suited for release code (forget the "go live" krud)?
|
|
|
|

Hopefully, the only VS2005 articles focus on VS2005 features, which means they are only of use to people using VS2005 already ?

Well, in fact you need to get a special licence from Microsoft before you're ALLOWED to release 2005 code into the wild, but overall, I haven't seen anything in 2005 that would make me think there were problems there.

You have much more confidence in MS and their new releases than I do, particularly where much of the inner workings either is not documented, incorrectly documented or not available except for internal use by MS.

Perhaps - I can't judge that without knowing you better. However, it's more true that I have confidence in my own ability to write unit tests.

Who cares about the inner workings, so long as the framework behaves as documented ? Isn't that what OO is all about ?
