Don't use multiple dots, question marks, etc. I saw your answers. So many places you are doing this mistake. Avoid text speak also.

I removed the multiple question marks and replaced them by text; don't you agree it looks a bit more professional?

Certainly it does, but now people will be wondering what the hell I'm talking about in my answer...
Richard MacCutchan 12-Aug-11 7:37am    
Better?

It's not obvious from looking at it, but it is possible that someone thought that "1" was good and "5" was bad - I have had people mark my solution as solved, thank me profusely and vote me a one before! :laugh:

Check your reputation detail by clicking on the current reputation number beside you username at the top left of the screen - if the down vote is a low negative then it is likely this has happened. If it is a high negative, then you have probably annoyed someone...

Hi,

I can't tell you why you exactly why your answers have been was downvoted but may I suggest the following that you try to make your answers more usefull and better presented in the future. Here are some ideas:

1. Many people do not have English as their first language so we all avoid text speak as it can be hard to follow.
2. Its worth considering the how usefull your answer is. If it just repeats someone elses answer with no more detail or perhaps less detail then it may not be well received.
3. Lastly if you answer your own questions people are unlikely to praise you as it may appear that you have asked the question merely to asnwer it and show off.

I hope that helps, keep contributing and take down votes with a smile is my best advice.

If u you using cascading dropdown list, U you must using ajax tool kit.
plz please send ur your code correctly,

Don't put your mail id in your answer
[deleted]@yahoo.com

Use Code block or Var to format the text
C#
CheckBox lblNewsLetter = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");

instead of
CheckBox lblNewsLetter = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");

Just improve these things, that's all.

As mentionned by others, you should write in a more professionnal style. This site is not a social network like facebook. Thus questions and answers should be written in a more technical way.

Also your answer need to be precise and useful.

Finally, text that is badly written often look like spam. And spam is not well received.

As the tooltip on the "submit your solution" button suggests -

"When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.

Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.

If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
