I think we've already discussed this.
a) It works the opposite to what you think,
b) Is it really important enough an issue to make a post about?
Sorry - but due to there being only 24hrs in a days we have to focus on those things that are important to the operation of the site

The topic was partially covered for Search keywords being in Classic CodeProject.

Though not acutely significant, I only felt that a little of minimizing the surface area that is exposed to the world which opens up avenues for exception handling (like Int being used, we need to handle 'Input string was not in the correct format') and exceptions are a little heavy for the Worker Process.
Perhaps, a little step towards easing the already heavily loaded webserver.

An int being a load on the servers when we allow free HTML input? An int doesn't even make the servers blink. Vasudevan, you have odd ideas sometimes but please keep them coming

Nope. I didn't mean that way. In the rare occasion of a malformed URL Querystring, the key might not contain a numeric but an alphanumeric type. In that, Int32.Parse might throw up an exception. I was actually intending to highlight that issue.

Hi Vasudevan!
There is a TryParse function that does not throw an exception
The following will throw an exception:
int i = int.Parse("VDK is the king of web testing");
The following will not:
int i;
if (int.TryParse("VDK is the king of web testing", out i))
{
}
Exceptions thrown for invalid data (non normal course of processing) should not be that big cause of concern
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

There was a recent discussion on 'Sydney GetTogether' and Vikram had also reminded the participants to get photographs and share across the same.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2391395[^]
I just thought CP can extend the 'Get To Gether/Events' forum by also narrating the various events that are organized within the context of CP itself. The earlier chennai CP meet photos are currently stored in Flickr and other third party.
Within CP, we can have a section like 'CPian Meet/Events' and we can have them organized from within.

Chris I've been being auto logged out periodically all day. Is this a session expiry tming change, I've been intermittent today, or a bug resurfaced?
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

We had a bit of old code sneak temporarily back into the code base but that's all been hunted down and exorcised. We updated the site a few times today so that may have been the cause.
Is it still happening? Any pattern you can see?

Has been fine so far today. It didn't seem to happen while I was posting or browsing but everytime I did some 'real' work and let up on CP for a few tens of minutes I would come back to find myself logged off, hence my thought of a session timeout somewhere. I'll post again if it reoccurs assuming for now that it was just the updates to blame. Thanks for your continued sterling work.

If appending the string "Device drivers" to "Hardware" forum, maybe there would be more driver programmers knowing the right place to discuss.

I was just wondering if there is any possibility of (and interest in) having a PowerShell section on the Code Project. There's so much .Net goodness that you can do with PowerShell. I have found that PowerShell resources are very spread out and sometimes hard to find. It would be great to bring some of the community here.

You enjoying having the ability to add sections (although I've got a feeling this one has been there before being asked for) easily?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a new section.
But are you asking if the weight of absolute power of life and death of a section has gone to my head?
Yes. Yes it has. MwahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Very cool. I'm looking forward to writing my first article on Code Project about some little PowerShell bits I've been playing with.
Thanks!

I'm not saying resort to a capcha or anything, but perhaps a little link so that those responses may be marked as spam in the same manner as the ones in the message boards.
I have no blog...

I think we can try using Akismet webservice to chase spammers from posting junk things in our comments and other textboxes.
