Re: A modest proposal eggie522-Jun-04 6:17 eggie5 22-Jun-04 6:17  No, you only join the chat room if you want. Your not just automaticly thrown in once you sign into codeproject. Uh, that's all I can say. You win, I don't want to fight. /\ |_ E X E GG Installers zumichu17-Jun-04 10:31 zumichu 17-Jun-04 10:31  It's really hard to find help on install systems, like WISE for example. I think there should be a topic for this. Does anyone know of a good place to get this kind of help? Thanks. Re: Installers Prakash Nadar17-Jun-04 15:48 Prakash Nadar 17-Jun-04 15:48  General discussions will do.

It is probably the most inconsistently unstable web sites I konw of. Some links work, others don't. Kind of like "pot luck". I know there are some great minds that could cure this ailment. I'll I tried to do is access the following link at 3:00PM USA Eastern time http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/ It wouldn't load after 10 "seperate" attempts. I tried everything I could on my end. I would expect more from a reputable website. Just some facts mixed with opinions. Too many people are scared to be honest, but I am not. It's nothing against CP, I'm just being a realist. Re: Performance of Codeproject.com Chris Maunder17-Jun-04 9:26 Chris Maunder 17-Jun-04 9:26  This site is stress tested. 24 hrs a day. We've upgraded hardware, improved caching, reworked database tables, quadrupled our bandwidth - and every single time we open up one bottleneck we just ratchet up to the next. We are constantly looking to make the site faster and more stable and are at the moment working on the next round up updates. All we can ask is your patience. cheers, Chris Maunder Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. Re: Performance of Codeproject.com dh_swingt28-Jun-04 4:45 dh_swingt 28-Jun-04 4:45  Possibly we could discuss the site design here and see if we can't leverage some of the ASP expertise around. Where is the largest bottleneck that you percieve? In my experience, connection pooling and untimely release of resources was always a problem with ASP/COM sites I've worked on. What is the typical DAL access for a page on this site? When the web farm bogs down, what do the db server resources look like? Are you at max connections? Is the proc utilization pegged? How about the pool of scripting engines in IIS? With a few discussions, I suspect we can solve the performance issues here (which are considerable). Thanks for a wonderful resource. I just want it slightly more available. _Terry Helpful articles list - not hosted on CP. Dave Kreskowiak17-Jun-04 8:12 Dave Kreskowiak 17-Jun-04 8:12  How about a section on the front page that lists Helpful articles found on other sites, like MSDN. Articles like Working with Multiple Forms in Visual Basic .NET: Upgrading to .NET[^], and Improving .NET Application Performance and Scalability[^] could be added to the list by selected CodeProject people (we don't want spammers adding stuff, do we?), like CP-Supporters and CP-Protectors. We could include a short description of the article and maybe a rating for it. This list could rotate through the links just like the Featured articles list or the Featured Products list. We don't have to put it on the front page. Maybe each forum section could have it own list of articles. This might help stem the tide of the most repeated questions we get from the "inexperienced" developers.

Chris Maunder20-Jun-04 3:30 Chris Maunder 20-Jun-04 3:30  We have to decide what we want CodeProject to be - a central repository or a directory. I vote for the former. cheers, Chris Maunder Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. Re: Helpful articles list - not hosted on CP. Hans Dietrich25-Jun-04 21:05 Hans Dietrich 25-Jun-04 21:05  Chris Maunder wrote: a central repository or a directory. I vote for the former. I agree with that - but why can't a central repository also have a list of web resources? I think this would be especially valuable in the context of CodeProject, if CPians could vote on the quality of the link - like is done right now with articles and comments. I have seen many such lists on the web, but I have no way of judging (other than by personal experience) whether a linked site is any good. Getting CPians to vote for the good ones would be tremendously useful and timesaving. You could set it up as a separate topic, with web sites nominated by email - the site url + brief description. Then people could vote on it. Please consider this. Suggestion...DOH! tanstaafl2817-Jun-04 6:49 tanstaafl28 17-Jun-04 6:49  I was about to suggest a monthly programming contest...then I realized there already was one. DOH! Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years... "Sticky" or "Pinned" posts Ian Darling17-Jun-04 6:13 Ian Darling 17-Jun-04 6:13  How about "Sticky" or "Pinned" posts for each forum? This could be useful for FAQs or key links or forum notices (like announcing scheduled downtime in the Lounge) whatnot for each forum. A Sticky post may or may not have replies to it, depending on the nature of the post. The stickiness of a post would be controlled by His Mighty Bobness, of course Ian Darling The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity ... that such complexity can arise ... out of such simplicity ... is the most fabulous extraordinary idea ... once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened - it's just wonderful ... the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned - Douglas Adams Re: "Sticky" or "Pinned" posts Chris Maunder17-Jun-04 8:13 Chris Maunder 17-Jun-04 8:13  In forums 2.0 cheers, Chris Maunder Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.

Re: How about a managed directx section? Prakash Nadar14-Jun-04 23:50 Prakash Nadar 14-Jun-04 23:50  Managed VC++ will do for that.

Regards, ElDrago. Re: How about a managed directx section? Prakash Nadar15-Jun-04 16:05 Prakash Nadar 15-Jun-04 16:05  There is a C# section too.

Re: Demographics Change Corinna John17-Jun-04 20:34 Corinna John 17-Jun-04 20:34  In addition it would be fun to see a "demographics of article authors", optionally filtered by section/language. About 70% of the registered users are from US or have not changed their settings, but whenever I read an interesting article and view the author's profile, he is from china, france or whereever. This might be because a majority of the registered users are not active at all, they just register in order to download zip files. Filtering the demographics for "silver status and above", "users with at least five messages posted" or "at least one article posted" would give as more realistic overview about the "real CPians"
