While I considered posting this on the "Surveys" page here: [^], it seems to me like that's reserved for comments on CP's weekly home-page surveys.
I'd like to see a survey on the current usage of Windows Forms applications: what % of developers are still developing for them, maintaining them, etc.
Can one assume, as many now apparently assume, that WinForms is "eclipsed" by current web/mobile development paradigms ?
If this seems too narrow a topic for a CP survey, perhaps the question could be phrased as:
What is the primary Windows .NET stack environment you work in now:
0. Web tools (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, jQuery, etc., plus whatever .NET languages
1. WinForms
2. WPF / Silverlight
3. ASP.NET plus whatever client-side
4. Modern/WinRT (using XAML) for Win Store apps, etc.
5. C++ .NET
Could this be broken out by use of MVC ?
thanks, Bill

Turns out there is a link on the page you linked to that reads, "Suggest a survey." It ends up taking you to an email form. I have used it several times and have never had any feedback so I can't verify it actually does "suggest a survey." Then again, my ideas for a survey could have just been too boring for CP.

Every suggestion goes into my inbox where it is cared for, fed and given a home.

Not glossy paper. That's too uncomfortable when you're using it as toilet paper.

I can't get tissue paper through my printer.
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

You need to upgrade your printer.

Nah - it was carefully selected for a near-as-dammit straight paper path so I could get heavy paper through it. This one works very well with 260gsm photo card. but poorly with anything under 90gsm (my minimum letter paper)
It's ability to print on perforated rolls was not considered important at the time of purchase!

Perhaps you need to upgrade your backside then.

My backside is rapidly reaching it's maximum permitted capacity!

Thanks, Ryan, I seem to be missing many thing that are "starting me in the face," lately ... I'd like to blame it on being in the process of moving house.
I will re-post using that link.
cheers, Bill

Hi CodeProject
I am facing an email confirmation dilemma on my account, and hope that a sysadmin could kindly assist with the matter.
There is a red notification on my CodeProject dashboard when I log in, saying "Your email address needs to be confirmed." (because I updated my email address under "My Settings").
When clicking on the notification, the "My Notifications" page is displayed, but the page is empty, there is no hyperlink on the page with which to perform the confirmation.
I did not receive a confirmation email in my inbox either, with which to perform the confirmation.
It appears that my account is in some sort of error state, thus leaving it in a condition where the Login email address needs to be confirmed, but the notification mechanism to do so, is not fully operational.
Kind regards

I've resent an email confirmation request. Just click the link in the email when you get it and you'll be good to go.
We want to make sure you're real and you actually want emails before we email you.

I moved my technical blog to a new location a few weeks ago. I reported this here earlier but it's not fixed or explained yet. There are now 5 posts waiting to be published.
|
|

|

It's on the TODO list and I apologise, but we're running way behind on the bug list and working through them as fast as possible. It's not forgotten.
cheers

I think I've worked out the issue.
Your blog items have
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogArticleList.aspx?amid=3453924" rel="tag" style="display:none">Published on CodeProject</a>
in the content, but instead it needs to be[^] just
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com" rel="tag">CodeProject</a>
(You can add display:none if you wish)
The key things are that it's a rel=tag anchor tag, and that the text of the tag inside the link is just "CodeProject".
cheers

Thanks Chris, that makes sense! However, I changed two (now four) posts nearly 48 hours ago so that the link says <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogArticleList.aspx?amid=3453924" rel="tag" style="display:none">CodeProject</a> and these articles have not been pulled yet.
|

|

Have the blogs you think should have been pulled now been pulled? If not can you please send me a link to any one of them that's still not getting pulled?
cheers

Yes, thanks! 3 entries were consumed on Aug 18, after I wrote my last message of course, then the last one was pulled on Aug 20.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, great.
Please yell if you see more articles not getting pulled. I think there's an issue with the aggregator and I'd love to nail it down.
cheers

Since yesterday afternoon when I visit CP from work in FF I get bare HTML with no images or styling at all. This has happened with a few other sites before and while I'm almost certain it's something IT's screwed up at work, I've gotten a runaround from the helpdesk over it in the past. Comparing the list of javascript I get in Firebug vs IE's developer tools I appear to be losing most of your javascript too.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
