I just published another article and noticed I had a grammar error. I went in and click on update article and all my images went away (without making any changes to the article itself). I never saved off my grammar change and clicked on revert to last published and that didn't do anything.

Using C# .NET to Read and Write from Azure Key Vault Secrets[^]

The images seem to show in the image control on the page. However if I go directly to the image that do not appear they are there.
The image link in the control is here:
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/1430794/CreateResource.PNG

but the doc image states its here (and its not)

https://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/1430794/CreateResource.PNG

I had a LOT of issues getting the images to display and display correctly in creating this article (took me hours of work)…. I think there may be an issue....

Edit: I went back into the article and reselected the images. This is a fairly painful process. If I have issues that need to be corrected or updated in the future I will be thinking twice about updating because of this.

I just looked again after getting the images up and the pictures are missing again. I don't have the time or energy to re-add the pictures every hour or so. Can someone look into this? This time I did nothing but navigate to the document.

Hello Admin and people,

I am writing an article and attaching some images in that. I added the images and used the Image tag like this :

"img src="CreateDB.png"

Unfortunately, Images are not getting loaded and instead I am seeing this:

"img src="/KB/Articles/1341422/CreateDB.png"

I removed the angular brackets in above HTML tags for this question.

Can someone help me with this? I have not published this as the preview is not showing the images.

Thanks,
Saurabh

Where can I read more about Techincal Blogs vs Article?

Hi.

I'm new here and after reading the Submission Guidelines, A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project, and Article Formatting tips for CodeProject posts - still can't understand clearly enough which Type I need to choose for my posts...

They are posted via RSS from my own blog with some formatting here - so they belong to the Technical Blog type?

From the other hand - they are just like a usual Article - so do I have to set Type to the Article?

Two examples:

- the Redis: Replication, Part 1 – An Overview. Replication vs Sharding. Sentinel vs Cluster. Redis Topology has the Techincal Blog type

- the Redis: Replication, Part 2 – Master-Slave Replication, and Redis Sentinel has the Article type

Both were reviewed by the Community and accepted but I'm still in doubt which Type is the correct for them.

Thanks in advance.

blogs are automatically fed / pulled by the site (see Code Project Technical Blog FAQ[^])
If you have a blog and you post or plan to post them there too... then use BLOG yes or yes.

articles are written from the scratch. Tip/Trick are shorters but written from the scratch too.
If you don't have a blog, and / or your post is not going to be found anywhere else, you might use the article / tip-trick type.

But...
there is a bug. If a blog having problems gets edited by a CP Staff, it gets changed to an article and up to now, there is no possiblity to change it back to blog.
Your 2nd example was edited and got caught by the bug, that's why it has the type article.

I hope it helps

I have created a CRichEditCtrl control dynamically and  i tried to apply Black color as background but I am not able to do so.I have found that in resource file its Property set to WS_DISABLED and I think thats why I am not able to change the background of control.

I have tried  onctlcolor () as well as SetBackgroundColor() method but it is not 
 working

Please Guide

Article on large topic should be splitted or kept in a single page?

Andrea Simonassi20-Mar-19 12:59

Hi everybody, in my few spare time I am creating a new article on the subject "multiple precision arithmetic" (MP for short).

I wrote about arithmetics sharing code snippets, at the end of the article I will present source code which runs unit tests and most notably collects statistics of different MP implementation.

I don't know what length an article should be, I just know the stuff I have is quite long. I'm afraid that a single long page could discourage audience, i could strip some paragraphs but I already removed much in the effort to balance clarity and brevity, I'd rather prefer to write a series of 5 articles.

I did not found on guidelines "what when and where" it is considered good practice to split long articles into chapters. There are limitations? Suggestions?

Andrea

There are both possibilities:
Authors that like to post a big single object
Authors that like a lot do series "1 from N" format.

As long as the single articles don't get too short, and they finish what they start.... I would have no problem.

5 Articles is something manageable. I don't know what is the content, but a possible arrangement could be:
1 - Why, was, Theory background...
2 - Overview about what is coming with snippets and light explanations, how to use it and so on
3 - most interesting parts with deep explanations part 1
4 - most interesting parts with deep explanations part 2
5 - Explanations about the unit tests and statistics functionality that you mention. Practical use cases, comparisons and conclusions

Whole code and example project as a download in all or at least #3, #4 and #5

I personally think it is better if you prepare the work and use the draft functionality to write everything, and then publish with links to each other part in each article at the end, when everything is done. I don't like unfinished things and having to wait to understand the big picture.

Hi, thank you for answering.

I will follow your advice to publish all at once when ready then.

My goal is show (to who is interested) ideas about how to create their own MP library, being myself just an amateur on this kind of stuff.

I think to title the series "Teaching arithmetic to a computer" or maybe "The Big Integer Challenge" and divide the article into parts that could be viewed independently, all the code needed to study and build your own implementation is embedded on article.

Part #1 the sum

Sample summary:
* define sum, simple sum primitive to build long sum, base 10
* carry properties and implication
* from base 10 to any other base (specifically CPU register sized digits)
* The Long Sum algorithm, with flow chart
* carry propagation, carry detection on higher level languages
* listing in C language and x64 assembler with comments
* bar chart for above implementation timings
* Appendix

Part #2 the subtraction, Part #3 the multiplication
Part #4 the division: this will probably be the longest one.

Part #5 the arithmetic challenge: (did not start writing yet)
* show how to use the toy framework i created in order to validate other implementation and compare performance to the reference implementation
* evidence parts that need to be changed if porting the code outside of windows environment or different hardware platforms.
* install Microsft assembler extension on Visual Studio
* show how to create basic statistic from csv dataset generated by the program,
* (maybe) challenge the community members to fork and create new fastest implementation

In total the document should be like 50 printed pages if on WORD, kind of 8-12 pages per article.

Could that be ok? Which is a good measure of an article lenght expressed as "printed page"?

What about the source code, should I add it just once to the latest article? Because all the relevant sources are in a single project.

Andrea

I am not a big writer myself, so I can only give my opinion.
As far as I know, there is no real "regulation", there are only minimum requirements. Not sure if you alredy have done it, but I recommend you to have a look into: https://www.codeproject.com/KB/FAQs/[^]
you will find some help about the site, how to publish and what tools you have to do it. I.e.:
Code Project Article FAQ[^]
Code Project Tags FAQ[^]
(just in case... CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^])

or the author resources (https://www.codeproject.com/KB/mentor/[^]). I.e:
Using the Article Editor (without losing your hair in handfuls)[^]
Article Formatting tips for CodeProject[^]
Formatting code in Tips and Tricks[^]

You can attach it to every article as a download and post the most relevant and related snippets in the article to explain things
or...
You can post the most relevant and related snippets in the article to explain things and say that the whole download is on the last article of the serie, so that the reader knows where to find it.

Another thing I would do to help the readers is to keep a list of the links of the serie in all articles, so one can navigate without problems from one article to another. I mean:

In Article 1:
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_1_of_5.aspx <<< this article (notice the no-clickability)
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_2_of_5.aspx[^]
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_3_of_5.aspx[^]
...

In Article 2:
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_1_of_5.aspx[^]
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_2_of_5.aspx <<< this article (notice the no-clickability)
https://www.codeproject.com/article/part_3_of_5.aspx[^]
