Why don't we have Microsoft Surface category in Articles and Message Board sections as its a growing technology?

Because you don't develop in Surface. You develop in things like WPF on Vista or Windows 7, which are adequately catered for.

Thats right.
But they are having seperate SDK for Surface.

Hi,
I agree with Arun ; I think MS Surface is almost a technology of its own and deserves its own category. Developing using WPF or developing for Surface isn't quite the same in many aspects.
At least, having a 'Surface' tag would help find related articles and projects.
Thx

I seem to have moved to the States recently, have all countries been reset to the US or is someone giving me a hint?
|
|

I am still located in Germany. Does it get reset to the states even if you change it back ?
|

Now your assuming I tried to change it instead of screaming BUG.....
Seems to have accepted the change back to Singapore.

Funnily enough I'd love to live in Belgium for a couple of years. I miss being able to get in the car and take a driving weekend away (I miss the car!).

Yeah if you can stand the traffic jams, endless searching for parking and never ending bad roads.
But I guess that's no different from anywhere else.

From experience Sydney and London have the same problem, Singapore, we don't even own a car as the public T/p is excellent. Been here 5 years and would love to have a winter again, summer can actually get boring after enough of it .
I like the fact that you can get into the car and just drive into the countryside (a city state is well, a city ONLY), I have to fly anywhere except Malaysia.

I've recently come across a plethora of VB and C# articles that show up when attempting to filter for for C++. Further examination shows that I can't even select for filtering for C++. I select "C++ Filter" and Update List and the list box clears to "No Filter"
Of course this is made all the more confusing by having a drop list box AND a menu type bar, which is perfectly hideous design. Make your mind up and use one.
Finally C++/CLI should not show up under MFC/C++.

Hi Joe,
Do those articles that come up in the search have a VB or C# attribute in the upper right hand corner?
Thanks,

Yes. (Which is how I noticed it.)
It wasn't search, but Clicking Articles|Desktop Development|Dialogs and Windows. C# was highlighted on the "menu bar". I selected to filter to C++. It didn't work. I selected MFC/C++ on the menu bar and that worked, but occasionally C# articles get left behind.
(I just tested it. This time it came up with MFC/C++ hightlighted and some C# and VB articles under "Caption Bars." It also came up with some C++/CLI articles which isn't technically correct, though it is ambiguous.)

Hi Joe,
We try to keep on top of those attributes being where they shouldn't be. If you have an example I'd be happy to help fix it.
Thanks,

It's not just the attributes, the filter feature doesn't work--you have duplicate functionality, poor design. I could go on.
For now, Click Desktop Development|Dialogs and Windows|MFC/C++. I scroll down and and the top article under caption bars is a C# article.

Do you have an example case I can use? If I can replicate it I can make a proper entry on our bug tracker. Thanks for finding this!

First, I noticed that none of this works with FireFox 2.x. So I started IE8 and totally cleaned out histories and cookies.
I went to codeproject.com
I selected Desktop Development under Articles
I selected MFC/C++
I changed the filter to C# developer and selected "Update List"
A bunch of C# articles showed up.
The combo box changed to "Custom Filter" even though it wasn't
I clicked "Clear"
It said "No filter selected - all articles shown" (which isn't true.)
Clicking "Update List" reset the list

Thanks Joe!
I've added it to our bug tracker.

This has been revamped and cleaned up.
Better, or still sub-optimal?

It appears better, though the tag selection box flashes at the page and when you select the role C++ Developer, it doesn't select VC9.0 (and there is no VC10.0, which may be a good thing )

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I think it is not fair that some members qualify newcomer's articles with 1, when them haven't been authorized for publishing.
Votes of 1 are not easy to overpass for beginners that are trying to improve their article day by day.
This option (voting) should be blocked for a while.
Best regards,
Jaime.

If a beginner is trying to improve their article day by day then they should not submit it until it is in a publishable state.
If they need help before that stage there is a Moderator system in place, all they have to do is ask for the assistance of one of the moderators.

How can a beginner improve his/her article without the help of other members? They have to be published!
There is a reason for "Article moderation" warning to exist. Experienced members should guide newcomers to produce publishable articles instead of discouraging them with votes of 1.
Best regards,
Jaime.
