Alternate Language View for Articles/Tips/Tricks/Alternates AspDotNetDev30-Mar-11 11:05 AspDotNetDev 30-Mar-11 11:05  A suggestion... I have a tip/trick that applies to both C# and VB.NET. I originally wrote it for both languages and included the samples for each language inline (i.e., a C# PRE block would be right after VB.NET PRE block). However, I found that to look clunky, so I revised it to be C# only and I added an alternate that is VB.NET. However, there are those who think that doing something like this on a regular basis may make finding "real" alternates more difficult. It would be nice if we could make a tip/trick (or even article) in an alternate programming language without creating an alternate. I'm thinking these would be more of "views" than alternates. Maybe put a tab at the top of each tip/trick/alternate for each language (the user can set the text on those tabs and they are always optional). So if I click the "C#" tab, I get a C# version of the tip/trick. If I click "VB.NET", I get the VB.NET version. Another idea would be to make the code blocks toggle like is done on MSDN (example).

Could we have a text size option or use the HTML text sizes which are amenable to the Windows IE page/text size options? Or make the "small" option for posts bigger! Re: Font size in codeproject Chris Maunder30-Mar-11 7:49 Chris Maunder 30-Mar-11 7:49  I toyed with this but with modern browsers have Ctrl+ and Ctrl- to increase/decrease size of everything - images, layout and font. Increasing just the font puts things out of balance. Is Ctrl+ to increase the size not an option? cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Font size in codeproject MartinXLord31-Mar-11 23:18 MartinXLord 31-Mar-11 23:18  Thanks for your comment. I have only had this problem recently - suspect my eyes are deteriorating Ctrl+/- does indeed do the trick. I have in the past relied on IE's 'Page\text size' Thanks for taking the trouble to point this out Regards Bad Character Kschuler30-Mar-11 4:42 Kschuler 30-Mar-11 4:42  I was typing a question in Q/A about a problem I was having converting not so common special characters. I was mid way into typing my question when I pasted an elipses (ascii 133) into the question text, which was a mistake. My IE 8 didn't like it one bit. It froze up and I had to end task it. Thought I should report it. Re: Bad Character Chris Maunder31-Mar-11 12:30 Chris Maunder 31-Mar-11 12:30  There's lots of bad characters here. The Soapbox is bad, but the Back Room - yeesh! What a warren of moral turpitude. Even some of the regulars... Oh, you mean an ASCII character type character. Right. I'll add it to the bug list. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Nevermind, I guess: I get a "No articles were found for by requested author." kind of message while attempting to download source [modified] The-Great-Kazoo30-Mar-11 4:05 The-Great-Kazoo 30-Mar-11 4:05  I see some potentially nice source I'd like to have a look at in any author's article. I click on the download link as I've always done. I get a "No articles were found for by requested author." message, which seems to think that I'm the author of any author's article. I end up with no source......... What to do? as of now, it seems to be all better-------- modified on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 10:19 AM Re: Nevermind, I guess: I get a "No articles were found for by requested author." kind of message while attempting to download source Chris Maunder30-Mar-11 4:25 Chris Maunder 30-Mar-11 4:25  There was a bug (see a few messages down).

Q&A Page numbers overlaps current page indicator(minor) walterhevedeich30-Mar-11 3:02 walterhevedeich 30-Mar-11 3:02  Hi. I noticed in the Q&A section that the page numbers(link) on the grid below overlaps the current page indicator. However this dont happen everytime. It usually happens when I switch tabs. Also, the FAQ button slightly overlaps the Ask a Question button. Im using IE7 as my browser. Re: Q&A Page numbers overlaps current page indicator(minor) Chris Maunder30-Mar-11 3:41 Chris Maunder 30-Mar-11 3:41  Can you reproduce this reliably? Which browser? I can't seem to get it happening for me. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Q&A Page numbers overlaps current page indicator(minor) walterhevedeich30-Mar-11 4:03 walterhevedeich 30-Mar-11 4:03  I tried again and it really occurs. It happens when I switch tabs. Im using IE7 as my browser. Not sure where to post a screenshot for this in CP. Most image upload sites here in the office are blocked. Re: Q&A Page numbers overlaps current page indicator(minor) Chris Maunder1-Apr-11 11:35 Chris Maunder 1-Apr-11 11:35  Yes - I can see it now. It's an IE rendering issue. I'll try and get it sorted but unfortunately it's going to be a low priority. (or you could do us both a favour and upgrade to IE9 or Chrome... ) cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Q&A Page numbers overlaps current page indicator(minor) walterhevedeich2-Apr-11 1:55 walterhevedeich 2-Apr-11 1:55  Chris Maunder wrote: it's going to be a low priority. I agree since this is really a minor one. Thanks Chris. If God helps those who help themselves, don't you think we should do the same? How to download an article/source code from CodeProject? King Boy30-Mar-11 1:13 King Boy 30-Mar-11 1:13  I had signed in and started to download a source code of another member in CodeProject network but I can't get the downloaded source code, the result page showed me a message saying something like this: Articles by King Boy (0 articles) No articles were found for by requested author. Here is the link to the result page: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31823/RtfInDataGridView/DataGridViewRichTextBox.zip[^] It may require my account to be logged in to see the exactly what I saw! I can't understand what is happening, the article I wanted to download is not mine as the message said "requested author" and King Boy is my username.I could download a source code successfully by this way before. I think to download some from this network, I have to contribute some first, don't I? Please answer me this question, I really need many sources from your network. Thank you so much!!!<b></b> Re: How to download an article/source code from CodeProject? [modified] Chris Maunder30-Mar-11 2:18 Chris Maunder 30-Mar-11 2:18  We have a nasty bug. We are fixing.

King Boy30-Mar-11 22:46 King Boy 30-Mar-11 22:46  Thank you! Haha, I think even when you haven't fixed the bug yet, I can still download articles I want by using a bit trick that I found right after asking about this bug and many tries to download. Simply I clicked on the "Browse" tab first (right next to the "Article" tab), then I went back to "Article" by clicking on the "Article" tab and finally clicked on the download link. It really helped me download the articles I wanted before your reply being posted. Thank you so much!
