Any idea what CodeSoso is, I was curious if any of my articles had been plagarised so I randomly picked a phrase and search google[^]. And got the codesos hits which all seem to link back to CP.

Is this a real concern, or a shameless plug for us to see your article from 2009? Smile | :)

It is neither, I was curious and had no idea what the other site was. I'm astonished that the articles are still being downloaded on a regular basis and I only promote them in the forums when they are relevant to the question.

I really do not give a rats about the reputation so shameless plugs are a complete waste of time. Besides, the articles are ancient and I haven't used winforms since 2010, I don't have the depth in WPF to be writing insightful articles.

I can still 'improve' a question, even after it has been closed / reported as spam.

Nothing wrong happens but seems a bit un-needed.

(in this case where I attempted it, it was actually benificial but that is very rare I think)

I once did something similar to a forum post:
I posted a message -> someone replied to my post -> I deleted my post -> I modified my post.

I don't think my edited content actually became visible, because the post was still showing "deleted", but it was weird.

Spell Checker

Whenever any one is submitting any articles or tips the editor does not show any spelling mistake errors or grammatical errors. Grammatical errors are okay but I think there should be a spell checker in the editor.

Chris hasn't been able to get the CKEditor spell check plugin working, so no spell check.

Deleting a Question's bookmark

I mistakenly set a bookmark on a 'Question' and I can delete it.

Looking at source code, the link's

<div>

seems to be commented.

        <div><a id="ctl00_MC_IR_ctl01_L" class="small-text" href="http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/890162/Send-XML-data-from-client-to-sever-using-TCP-socke">http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/890162/Send-XML-data-from-client-to-sever-using-TCP-socke</a></div>

I put a question about it.

Put the Article along with the code downloads

CodeProject is immensly useful to me for all sorts of coding help. I have read a number of articles in the last year or two and downloaded the examples code many times to learn. I also have to cut and paste or click the 'printonly' icon for the articles also along with these codes to read later and learn. These article prints finally go to an office word program and gets saved.

My suggestion is this: CodeProject can automatically include the article as part of the download (even as an HTML file - or at best a pdf file). This will help doing the cut / paste etc. Most importantly it will help save the articles along with the code samples so that we can read them later.

I have see some authors do this on their own.. I am giving this as a suggestion here.. May be it is there already - but waiting for a push to make it a default.

Well, thanks again to this wonderful & reliable site of coding help.

Why not just use the "bookmark" feature to add it to a list of article you are interested in? That way, when you go looking at the article you see the latest version, possibly with updated and improved source code?

(If you don't know about it, the bookmark is an orange "snakes tongue" to the left of the "print" icon at the top right of all articles)

You are right.. One more bookmark would do the thing.. But already with a system running into hundreds of bookmarks on all kinds of issues - finding this bookmark for the article is one more chore for the fingers on a tiring day.. also deleting these bookmarks never gets done by many of us.

We can as well google again and go on a wonderland of links by Mr.Google and picking up the third one by habit to land in a similar site - then wandering again back to code project and keying in the article name to see !

Well, coders are not productive people. We are logical but we do not have an idea of how to save our hours from wasteful searches and codes..

Pl help - ask code project team to atlease put a link inside the codes so that the page comes right inside the Visual Studio for all to look at it in a simple way !

This is a more simpler suggestion and many will save hours per week on this alone..

The problem you have is that a PDF version is stale as soon as you get it. If an author updates the article to correct a mistake, for instance, you end up with text that no longer represents the actual article.
