Article etiquette
-
Hi, I've released a useful and free programming add-in for Visual Studio. I'm not willing to release the source code for it, so it's only available as a binary download. I'd like to let CodeProject users know about it, but I don't know if it would be considered bad etiquette or against the CodeProject rules for me to post a message/article as an "advert" for my addin. Can someone please advise me if this would be ok? Cheers, Jason

Hi, AFAIK an article without source code would not be OK, it is against the site's rules. Besides, not many people would be inclined to install and run some executable code from an unknown source without the possibility to see the source code and check it for quality and absence of bad intentions. Why wouldn't you share the source code, that is what this site is all about? :)

I think my addin would be of great use to a lot of CodeProject users, so I'm keen to share it, but (while I'm happy to write some other articles for CP one day when my kids allow me enough spare time!) I don't feel happy with releasing the source for this particular project. I'll just have to rely on the grapevine! :-D Cheers

Recently CodeProject introduced a new site feature that might meet your needs. If you look at the green menu bar above, one of the entries is Catalog. Here you can post notices about products, your web site url, etc., - at no charge to you. p.s. What is the url for your add-in? I'd like to take a look.
Best wishes, Hans

Cool. Thanks Hans. :thumbsup: I'll post details in a catalog item, but the quick answer is: http://www.atomineer.com/AtomineerUtils.html :-)

Your writing style is very clear. You really should consider writing an article sometime.
Best wishes, Hans

Thanks Hans. I'd enjoy writing some articles - but I have a 3 year old and an 8-month old, so I'm a bit pressed for time right now! :-) I do intend to start posting articles one day though. Regards, Jason
