I agree! I recently had a VB.NET question http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=1388455&forumid=1646&mode=all&userid=387911#xx1388455xx[^] regarding the development of an application that uses Excel. It was definitely more an Office / Excel development question and a new messageboard for these type of questions would be great.
Microsoft has even created the Visual Studio Tools for Office add on for VS 2005. It would be great to have a seperate message board to ask questions related to this product.
Just adding my two cents...

I'm fairly new here...and I've looked around for the answer, but I'm just wondering - what is the significance of voting on lounge messages?
???Rate this message: 1 2 3 4 5 (out of 5)???

From the Forum FAQ
# What is 'Noise level' and how does message voting work? Why are some messages red and some grey?
Anyone can give a message you have posted a score of 1 to 5, 1 being poor, 5 being excellent. The Noise level drop-down allows you to specify the minimum score a message must have in order for it to appear normally on the boards.
Voting is weighted based on membership level. A new (non-status or bronze member) has a voting weight of 1. Silver members have a weight of 2, gold a weight of 4 and platinum members have a weight of 8. Thus a vote of 4 and a vote of 5 will not necessarily result in a score of 4.5 for a message.
If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 3 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out.
Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has.

(context) I'm doing a bit of development using the CTreeCtrl (optimizing, customizing ).
now, if I have specific questions, I do the obvious things, google, CP, books, ... and either I get an answer or I don't.
and there are the different articles about the CTreeCtrl; again, if I have specific questions about those, I will post a question there; maybe I will have an answer, maybe not; but it will only help me and/or the few that happen to have the same kind of problems or interests.
What could be usefull ( or maybe not ) is to have topical forums, one for each section on the "left side" of CP; for example, one for Buttons, one for Status bar, ..., one for CTreeCtrl ...
so that there could be some continuous and more focus talk on a particular topic.

Once again, a wiki or collection of CP-style forums integrated with MSDN would work wonderfully for something like this...

Hello,
In times of DotNet 2.0 the classifying of the articles ( C# 2.0, C# 1.0, ... ) the same for VB seems to be a must. No one is happy to found an apparently solution e.g. Highlighting and selecting an item in a DataList and realize that this wont work in VS2003 No hint or comment on the page that this sample is for DotNet framework 2.0.
So please describe your environment or even better classify your article right so that a search can respect your choice.
Just my two cents

why not use a real forum package, and be done with this b**sh*t errors every other click.

Though your tone is rude, but chris should note and probably put a FAQ somewhere to resolve this problem for new users if the problem is not with the forum code or fix the forum code.

I for one have never had an error browsing this site...
|
|
|
|

I don't know what errors you're talking about. The only issue I have with the forums is that my "back" button doesn't expand the previous post in the thread like one would expect.
That will be $0.02 please. Cash or charge?

I exclusively use this site because of the forums ... It really is superior to the "standard forum Packages" currently in development

I just wanted to suggest adding a category for Visual FoxPro.

I still have a soft-spot for FoxPro. It's data manipulation by code-
capabilities are yet to be beaten. Although the next version of C# seems to have that covered.

 I don't see what it would hurt for you to add this to the forum. Do you have something against Visual FoxPro or something? Do you not know how to use it?

No they are still creating new versions. They just took it out of the Studio package due to .NET. Some people think this because Microsoft doesn't do a very good job of advertising the software. Actually it is a great database software and can be very powerful if you know how to use it.

We give FoxPro the same hard time that we give VBScript and Visual Basic. But guess what? CodeProject is still (mostly) written in VBScript, and many developers here use Visual Basic (.NET).
It's called "joking". CodeProject started off as a C++ site but most of us are sensible enough to know how to use the right tool for the job.

i guess you stooped a little bit when codeproject started hosting vb stuff :P

OK I understand and am glad to hear that you were "joking" but without knowing and being a first time visitor it caught me off gaurd.
Actually I like to joke around a little also but I just wasn't  expecting the sort of replies that I received since I haven't ever had this happen on another forum but now I know.
:-DSo now what do you really think about adding a Visual FoxPro forum??

In all seriousness I just don't see any demand for FoxPro resources. If a bunch of developers start asking, or start posting FoxPro articles or questions then I'd certainly think about it.
