Actually what i want to know, How to decide my document should be an article or tip? Is there any high level line to differentiate?

Solution 2

From Code Project Article FAQ[^]
"A tip has the same spirit of a regular article: it is meant primarily to provide a coding solution. However, tips are not as exhaustive or extensive, or requite as much detail as an article would to explain a problem and its solution. Articles may be several pages long, but tips might be a couple of paragraphs. Simply: state the problem and its solution."
