Hi gurues,<br/> <br/>there is a very usefull FAQs for C++ and MFC but for other languages...<br/> <br/>is it possible for dev-archive to make another FAQ for .NET language and anything related to it(ADO.NET,ASP.NET,...)?<br/> <br/>I think it could be a very usefull source like C++ FAQs.

You're feeding me Sewing ads ? http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10811&stc=1 :sick: I'll be going away ( http://sewingforum.com/forum/index.php) now, I guess...BTW. the guy in the rational add should probably cover his belly and lift hispants up a bit, what are th...

I have turned on Quick Reply so as to make it easier to reply to posts. I'm assuming that this will not cut down on the number of views on this forum.To quote a message, you can click on the quick reply icon ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/images/buttons/quickreply.gif ) and then select the c...

This afternoon, for a period of several hours (between 3:00 PM and about 7:30 PM, my local time), I didn't receive any email notification about new posts in threads I am subscribed to. Then, at about 7:42, all the missing notifications dropped in at once. The problem now is that since then, I g...

Do you think it's a good idea to notify members when they recieve reputation points

In the list of logged member some of them have a + sign suffixing the name.cilu, Chris_Student, Andreas Masur+, Mercantilum, Alin+, c94wjpn, xiaowu2001, Ajay Vijay, Markus Splenius, amt35, dullboy, aaadetos, ezimmerman, martho, bena, VictorN, ahoodin, revg75What does it mean?Thank you....

Is there any milage in seperating the C# forum into two forums : one for WebForms and the other for WinForms ?Similarly for the other .NET forums.We also seem to be getting a large number of questions about interop between C++ and C# - mostly from people who don't know what they're doing i...

Brad, <br/>didn't find any FAQ item Here ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_thread_rate) on how to use "Rate this post" to give reputation points.. <br/>Possibly this could be a useful addition..

I try to post the comments here ( http://www.dev-archive.com/Cpp/data/data-misc/xml/article.php/c8287__2/) in response of Siddhartha, but my comments are not being displayed, whereas I get an e-mail notification about my comments are posted.<br/>This is happening with me second time, any ideas?

is iy possible to be notified via my e-mail address of post replied to a thread by me.<br/>I could not find such an option. mybe iam blind??<br/>please reply

I've noticed the new look of the threads and I would like to know if there is a way that I can disabled this from the user CP. I failed to find any.I really don't like that when I post a new message it is displayed alone on the page, and I must select the first post in the thread history a...

Is there a way for us to have this board display date/times as local time in whatever timezone we may be located? I've seen on other boards similar to this one options to set the timezone. Example: right now it is 7:22 p.m. CST (Central USA) and there are several posts that I know were made...

Today I have tried to add ovidiucucu to my ignore list but it was not possible. <br/>I got a message "Sorry, you can not add yourself to your own ignore list." and kindly invited to jump in a forum.<br/>Is any special reason for that it's not possible?

Is it just me - or has the search function on the CG main page become even worse?For example, I remember that there has been an article about a class which redirects standard I/O to a GUI. Since I couldn't find it by category (BTW, the categorization of articles is another subject we should pro...

This should now be resolved. One of the servers was slightly out of sync with its time.In fixing this, it seems that a date was then set off by a month - as such, if you posted a message that seemed to 'disappear', odds are it is simply farther down the list at 5/27 instead of 6/27.All sho...

I find myself wasting quite a bit of time looking through the open job postings reading a half page of text only to find the job is a free job. Either that or the OP 'guarantees payment, but after the product ships, is sold and/or the company IPO's). Is there any possibility that we could...

Dear Brad,Is it possible that "Click Here to Expand Forum to Full Width" link be placed at the top, rather then bottom of the ad? As we can see that, the ads are getting larger in lengh and you can never be sure, where exactly the link "Click Here to Expand Forum to Full Width" will appear next time...

Well, I'm back to programming after a while... coming from Linux and gcc, it is quite a shock to go MFC, but it seems it is a way to make profitable applications (while the new Mac OS X Tiger with a free development environment sounds attractive :)But it is not the point. (Almost) starting with...

I think a "Recommended Articles" link from the main page would be a good idea.Only the best of the best articles would receive links on this page. I.e. articles that are of real benefit to all people.Maybe the reviewers could take part and review all articles (all 10,000) on CG to suggest 5 each ?Da...

[First of all, this question may fall into the category that I'm trying to inquire about] Hey, I'm wondering if we can add some functionality to the site that allows us to mark the post as "Stupid question"? Kind of like a rating, but just limited to flagging the question as stupid. The id...

As those of you who have started evaluating the Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 might know, the new IDE directly integrates access to community forums (there are menu items like "Ask a Question" / "Send Feedback" / "Check Question Status" etc.) If I remember well, I even saw CodeProject.com directly integ...

I know that you get one square per 100 points, but when you get to light green squares does it go up to one square per 200 points?

Sometimes (about every other time) when I click on "(Rate this post)", page reloads instead of popping up rating window. When I click there again after that unexpected reloading, I always get that window. IE 6.0.2900.2180 SP2.

when you try to edit some post for the second time, the time changes but reason for editing doesntie:i edit this post with reason: "<reason1>"at the footer of the post there will be something like this: Last edited by <name> : <day1> at <time1>. Reason: <reason1>now, i...

is there a way to make "Disable smilies" checkbox checked by default?<br/>it is the checkbox in Aditional Options->Miscellaneous Options in Post New thread

I don't know how often this would be needed, so feel free to tell me this is a stupid idea, but would it be possible to provide some means by which an article writer could upload multiple images at once, rather than having to send them all singly? I just submitted my first article for review, a...

Dunno if this is a CG problem, but it is only happening on this site.Often (say, 1 in 3 times) when I click a link/submit a reply, etc, it gets part way through loading the next page and then will just stop. If I click "Stop" then "Refresh" it generally loads fine the next time. This is a problem...

Has anyone ever thought of having an dev-archive IRC server/channel?<br/>What do you think of that idea? Maybe not for programming subjects (things like "Here is my code" would get a bit messy) but for chit chat?

hi,i realize i'm not a super contributor here or anything.. but i still like to read the posts to try and learn something from them... i've found (like i'm sure many others have) that a lot of ppl do not use code tags... this is quite understandable for new members... i'll admit...

Dear dev-archive,First of all I would like to complement all of you people for providing so valuable a service for the community. Thankyou all.Next, However, I would like to inform you that the fixed font size style that is currently used for article text is VERY VERY inconvenient for online reading...

Hi, sounds like I got caught up in the game... I have 2 questions about RP: I got a negative point here ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348217) while seemigly I helped the author :rolleyes: 1. anywhere I click "rate this post" it says "your rate on this post is even" while...

After I have seen several users posting MFC questions in this forum - that would rather go to Visual C++ forum. So I suggest to rename it to "Managed C++" if this forum has it's main focus on Managed C++ using the dotNet framework. I think some of the user post their general Visual C++ question...

Admins/Mods,I received reputation points from one of the CG Buddy's today, but how come he was able to rate my post twice within an interval of just 1 Minute.This is the post http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1190612&postcount=2 I thought you could not rate the same post twice and...

I just got the idea of creating annual dev-archive Forums Awards (CGFA). We should come up with some categories, select the nominees for each, then vote for it and the most voted ones win. Here are some categories that came to my mind so far (no special order): best C++ thread best .NET (including...

I did a lot of traveling in June and thus missed drawing names for books in May. So without any additional delay, the winners of books for May are: Dor Alon ( http://www.dev-archive.com/member.php/252919/) Mike Harnad ( http://www.dev-archive.com/member.php/4481/) Arjay ( http://www.dev-archive.com/mem...

Could you tell me why the forum has to turn off html code ?<br/>Thanks in advance

as an owner of several websites, I totally understand the need to place ads on your website. however... placing ads which take up half the page goes beyond excessive.anything over 120 pixels (let along ~360) is only annoying. it takes away from anything good that is going on here. it cheapens all...

I am experiencing a problem with the signatures, which are displayed at a much higer size than declared with vbb tags. For instance I use size=1 for my signature, but they are all (not just mine, but everybody's) displayed in size 3 or 4 (not sure). I have noticed this in the Feedback and Visua...

Please explain what dev-archive Technical FAQs ( http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=72) forum is intended for.<br/>Visual C++ FAQs sub-forum looks quite similar with the existing one, but about dev-archive Individual FAQs I'm quite confused.

Hi. I was wondering if one can delete his/her own thread, if no answers have been made (instead of single editing). I tried to post a thread with a poll and int. explorer crashed, so the poll was not inserted in the thread. If i am correct, there is no way to insert a poll in the thread afterwards....

Hi,This thing happens to me for more than one year, but it went beyond annoyance today. Sometimes, just after pressing the Submit Message button to send a PM, the IE crashes, but the message is sent (or at least sometimes). Today it happened as I was pressing the Preview button, and I had to start w...

Whenever I get one of those e-mails saying that someone has answered to one of my posts and I would like to unsubscribe from one of those threads and click on the appropriate link below. I get the web-page showing up saying that I'm no longer looking at that thread, etc.But, when I go away for...

I have some points about the way CG articles are displayed. Actually, this is already bugging me for a long time, but now, having submitted my first own article, the issues have become more evident to me: Font size: The style used for the standard body text uses a fixed font size - that alone is a p...

Hi Folks, As of this morning I have not been able to view CG Threads in my Firefox Browser (v 1.0.6). It simply displys the underlying Source Code instead of displaying it as HTML. The Forums Pages, User CP works fine though - its only the Threads that are not readable. Please fix this issue as FF...

It would be nice if we could have a forum for ATL
