Never trying to help again!

It should now be live as a Tips & Tricks post. If you have any trouble accessing it please let me know. As for pasting from VS2012, I wish I could help, but I know not!
Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project

I do provide it freely.

Does this mean it's ok to have a small notice @ the bottom of my article? I will remove it if required though. Kris

How about something even simpler? Why not, in your bio (which appears at the end of your articles) just include something tasteful like "I hope you enjoy my code. It's yours to use for free, but if you do wish to say thank you then a donation [link] is always appreciated."

Also if quality means everything, how do things like this get approved? Kris
Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed it from an article to a tip.

Also, and sorry to spam you, but I have reported two comments as they state things such as my article contains "no visible code" which is completely inaccurate. Kris

There is no local version of the download. As we've said previously, having a local copy is important - even if it's an older version. Links to external sites break, or are blocked, or developers just move on, and so having only an external link means articles get orphaned from their code and become unusable.

Don't be hard on yourself when writing your article/tips. Most people here in general are willing to help by giving constructive feedback to better help you improve it. By the way, I found your tip and you may want to fix the extra spacing in your second code block. Fix that and it looks pretty good to me.

ah :) You need to increase your rep. Post a few more articles, get a few more downloads and up-votes and you'll be good to go. 1000 points gets you live links in your bio (and I've just added a note to this on the rep listing page that will be visible in a day or two)

I have 4700+ .... but it just converts <a href=...> to <a href=...> when I save it so it appears as the actual text: <a href=...> in my bio @ the bottom of my articles and not a link??? Kris

That's weird. Email me the bio you want and I'll test, fix and get your bio updated.

Code Project has been a valuable resource to me as I try to get back into programming after a 30 year "sabatical". So... I thought I'd give something back to the community and publish a solution I found to a much-googled Windows 7 security issue. But... As soon as the article went up, it was closed again, because someone reported it as "unclear"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No explanation, no message to ask if I could clarify whatever it was that was "unclear", no offer of any help to rework the article in a way that was acceptable to the "powers that be".... NO! Just "Closed". I won't be trying again. If anyone is interested in any of the work I'm doing, please feel free to message me, but I won't be trying to publish any of my code on here again. That's for sure.
Hi, Please don't be discouraged! Taking the time to trace and find a solution to a Windows 7 security issue is commendable! :) :)
