Why it was deleted: For any number of reasons, your article was considered to be crap by the people that viewed it in its pre-approval state.
Why No Comments: Many people, such as myself, do not leave comments on articles that they don't deem worthy to be submitted. A small subset of that group (such as myself) will only comment on an article if a) its a complete and utter waste of storage space, or b) the article is almost good enough to approve.
How To Make Your Article Suck
0) Improperly format your article. CodeProject's article wizard does its best to help you along in the process, but in the end, it's still up to you to use the Preview button before hitting the Submit button. Poor formatting is not tolerated at all.
1) Struggling with English. It's really too bad if you're not a native English speaker, but that does not absolve you of the responsibility of posting something the rest of us can read. If you have trouble with English, find someone that doesn't, and have them edit your article for you.
2) Don't put your code blocks inside <pre> tags. This royally screws up an articles appearance.
3) Don't explain the code in detail. We're not as interested in witty banter as much as we are interested in understanding how your code works.
4) Post a partially completed article. NEVER EVER sit down to post an article unless you're prepared to finish it in the same session.
5) Leave in parts of the boilerplate text that the article wizard provides you with by default.
Your article probably met one or more of the items above, thus qualifying it for big time sucking.

No - you've cross posted on multiple boards, and this is bad form. Now stop. Desist. Give up. Can I make it any plainer?

I am afraid no one will give you the code directly in forum. Please think about it before you asking.

I have material for several articles that I would like to post, currently in plain text. How do I put plain text into the same article format everyone here uses? (I'm new to this forum, and entitled to at least one dumb question)

This is a good start :-

Also, once you have it 'ready for presentation', if you ask nicely you may be able to get someone to do a proof before you post it - there is a mechanism in place for weeding out cr*p, but by getting a regular here to check your article first you'll avoid embarassment

For many years, I've had a problem controlling my weight, and given the sedentary nature of working as a developer in an office setting, it's really easy to get out of shape and turn into a "blob", of sorts. I was thinking about applying some of my programming skills to losing weight and posting the results here on CP as an article--but I'm not sure if that would qualify as a "programming" article. So anyway, here's my question--do you think something like that would be applicable on CP, or should I just leave something like this to my own blog?

hard one .. it depends on what form this :-

go for it Philip

How do you apply programming skill to lose weight? Lock the fridge with an encryption algorithm you can't crack?

Not quite. A simple example would be to write something that would keep track of your workouts and your caloric intake, and it would still be up to you to do the rest of the work so that you can lose the weight.

i would like to request to write some article regarding using datagridview. Including MSDN, very simple use is discussed but no body tells how to deal with complex situations, like using combobox setting its selectedindex property of datagridviewcomboboxcell object, validating date, calculating amounts in columns, and very important how to relate two combobox in two columns, like in 1st columns there are companies in a combobox and in 2nd columns there are brand of those companies in combobox how can we relate combobox to fill only those brand from selected company,
Best Regards

An article about sensible data (using MFC), would it be interesting to someone?... or about CRichEditCtrl (also using MFC), might it be useful?

Write the articles. Even if it's not relevant to what I'm doing on a day to day basis, I do enjoy a well written article and will read it.

Do write the article, like Pete has mentioned. It may not be useful for my day-to-day programming purposes, but sounds like something I would find worth reading and other members of this site may find it useful, too.

Definately write the article. There will almost always be someone else who is running in to (or will run in to) a problem the article will help to solve.
