Hi All/Chris,
I think the following might produce some intersting results for the Code Project. This technique could be used for any topic which the Project feels more information is desired.
A simple example: Obfuscation. Ask the reader to submit an article with sample on the topic in a language of their choice. Have the staff (or readers) vote on the best two or three, and then publish them.
By using a language of their choice, you will get C++ and C# (and probably VB). I would bet someone will develop a tool to obfuscate. The result is another free tool for the community, and some more insight into techniques.
Another example would be a "smallest executable" on disk. This would have the readers attempting to strip out as much as possible from an executable (most likely post compile/link). Included would be tweaking pages and paragraphes used by the program. C++ would be intersting in itself. But I believe finding out what can be done to a C# executbale would be very informative. The body of knowledge for C# is not as mature as C++.

Yes - we'd love to run some comps like this. Stay tuned next year

I guess that means a Merry Christmas is in order if we are on CP time
Thanks for all the hard work.

it sure makes one reconsider the "in two days tomorrow will be yesterday" sig

Thought I'd point this out. Didn't see it in any recent posts. Sorry if I missed it, but...
The search engine returns zero results for:
GetUninitializedObject
Returns 1 (correct) result for:
FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject
Seems to me like the search needs to be juiced up a bit. Not sure if this was an existing issue, if even considered an issue or new with the site being re-vamped.

Could I have the assistance of an admin please? I need a partially submitted article removed, so that I can resubmit it using the Article Submission Wizard. I am unable to remove it myself. The article is called Legion.
Regards,
Daniel

The article should appear in your article list (see your profile page, click on the link next to your article count). You can edit/delete from there.

Chris, when I click on the link to my article in the article list I get a Page Not Found.

I resubmitted the article using a different BaseName. The old partially published article still exists in my list of articles, but is not visible when I am logged out (a good thing). I don't know how to remove it, but it's no biggy.
|
|

|

It does not seem to work. I tried to post an article and abandoned in between. I see it in my profile but I don't see any delete button or link to delete the article.
The basename is "pending". It shows up in my article list but no one can access it.
Sorry to mess things up!

The forum list above, well, each forum appears to rearrange itself when going from, say, the VB.NET forum to the .NET Framework forum. This may be true in others forums as well.

Should be fixed

I posted a message[^] at 11:30 PM EST on 22 Dec '07 but when I look at the latest comments page[^], it shows that the message was posted at 14:30 23 Dec '07.

It's the time in the Australian time zone!

I assumed that was the case, but I'm pretty sure before the upgrade this was shown correctly. Either way, it's not really a big deal and most people probably wouldn't have noticed it. I did only because I have a utility that reads this data and submits points to Community Credit and it didn't find that one message correctly.

Hi Scott,
several people, myself included, have posted the wrong datetimes on messages. Mine are
off by some 18 15 hours, they always appear in the future!
[ADDED] how can one be off by 15 hours??[/ADDED]
I'm in Belgium, that's GMT+1 time zone, current local time is 18:48 (sunday 23-DEC).
I do hope it is only a display problem, if not wrong data is stored in the database,
and search will continue to miss some.

I am pretty sure it's a display problem, although I'm not 100% sure. The tool I was updating seems to be showing the messages with the correct time stamps.

Unless I am seriously mistaken, it appears that static data like article images, logo's etc are not being cached. Looking at the traffic in Fiddler and Netmon reveals that the entire content of the static files is being downloaded each time. Unless it is by design (for some reason), I think that might also be a cause of server load.

Fixed. Thanks Rama

Hi All/Chris,
When Previewing an article using the Wizard, 'Preview' hijacks the current window, rather than opening a new window.
