Why was my article (DragonSharq Web Browser: Safe Browsing / Source Viewing[^] ) considered a tip/trick? I included code and explained how it works and everything. I even explained some extended issues with debugging threaded code.
It took me many hours to write the code and then write the article and it is a bit of a let down.
Also, I use an RSS reader and my article shows up as a new item there, but it doesn't show up on the main page? Why is that? It is because it is a tip/trick?

Having a real difficulty getting my code sample pasted into my article. Using Google Chrome browser as editor. Have done this before and it worked.
I paste the code as expected from notepad -- plain text. The trouble occurs when I choose the "formatted" option to format the selection as code.
I'm editing this message to let you know, I am running on Windows 7. I don't know what that apple-tab-span thing is.
It ends up giving me this (below) (from preview mode): (please help) thanks
private void GetWebSource()
{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>string strUri = urlComboBox.Text;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (strUri.Length == 0)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>return;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// Call helper method to insure that the URL is valid -- check it starts with http:// or https://
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>strUri = CheckForUrlPrefix(strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>urlComboBox.Text = strUri;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>bool isAdded = visitedUrls.TryAdd(strUri.ToUpper(),strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// If the url hasn't already been added to the drop list navigation add it so user can select it again later
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (isAdded)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>

Ok. Quick update. I tried various ways to get it to work and multiple tries at copy / paste. I was finally successful only because I was able to paste into the sample code area that the default article template gives you. I believe this is still a valid problem though.

It's due to this issue[^]. What version of Chrome are you using?
I'll put in a hack to clean it out.

Sorry I forgot to provide the version of Chrome I'm using. Probably doesn't matter now, but it is version Version 26.0.1410.64 m.

I am trying to post a new article. When I copy some text from Notepad and paste the text to CodeProject article editor, all the current text inside the editor is shrinked to one single big paragraph.
For example, if following is the current text inside the editor:
Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2.
Line 2 in paragraph 2.
Line 3.
Now if I paste the text abcd to be after Line3, the editor will become this:
Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2.Line 2 in paragraph 2.Line 3.abcd
I have posted a few articles before and never had this problem. Is there any setting I have missed?

Which browser?
Also, are you pasting into design (WYSIWYG) mode or in HTML view mode?

Internet Explorer, both version 9 and 10.
I am pasting into design mode.
What do you mean by HTML view mode? Do you mean the HTML editor? Yes, I can modify the raw HTML text, but that is soooo painful.

The raw HTML.
So you paste something like
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Into the WYSIWYG editor and it comes out as
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
Is that right?

I have found a workaround for this problem: use FireFox not IE.

When it's working on IE11/Win8.1, I get the HTML formatting that you mentioned above, and while that's a little annoying (because it's hard to find stuff when going into HTML view), I can live with that.
But to me, the "copy/paste doesn't work" line actually means that sometimes (read: very frequently) when I copy/paste into WYSIWYG/design view, the paste action crashes IE and on restarting IE, I have lost all of my edits since the last save. That made using design-view impossible, and HTML view just doesn't fly for a long article. This is why I decided to write my article in Expression Web and then send CP the file when it was done.
Not sure if this belongs here or in the Site Bugs forum... ?

Hi,
Recently I have posed an article but its status is showing as closed. Feedback I received is quality is poor. Can admins please send me the detailed feedback so that I can keep in mind while writing the next article as this was my first time writing an article.

Hi Mohammed,
I have re-opened your tip and I can see you got some helpful tips. The user is correct, primarily you are sharing a link, which is not quite the design we had in mind for Tips and Tricks. We appreciate you trying to help out the development community (it's what we're all about) but in this case it might be best to re-think your idea and start fresh. I will send you some great articles to get you started on writing for CodeProject.
Thanks,

Thanks for responding.
Okay, I got it now. Can you please suggest whether I should delete this Tip?

I recommend a fresh idea. Unfortunately deleting this tip is the way to go in this case.

I have gone ahead and deleted it. The documents I send you will also be very informative about the article editor system as well. Feel free to email back any further questions you might have.

Hi,
I have a couple of articles on GPU programming on Code Project. I have an idea for a third, but it may be too electronics oriented in scope. It may also be too manufacturer specific.
It includes a C# programming example for controlling and collecting data form a homemade random noise generator. But it relies on a preliminary circuit that is provided. It is also specific to a particular data acquisition board.
The article would be a modification of the one on my website: http://mark-bishop.net/signals.php?page=page1
Should I do it?
|
|
|
|
|
Absolutely. That would be awesome.

Hi,
Do you think I should break this into a two part article?
I could write the first one as a general intro/setup/demo for the usb DIO. The second would build upon this using the transistor noise random number generator application.

If the article starts getting a little long winded, or you find you're trying to cover two topics in one article then by all means split it up, but otherwise I see no reason not to have a single article.
