    It sounds like the angled brackets are getting encoded. Make sure you're pasting it as <b>Hello</b> and not <b>Hello</b>

    Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

            I think it is a great start. One thing I would recommend is given your topic, I would look around on CodeProject at articles on the same or similar topics. Make sure you include in your article: What makes your article different? What areas are you exploring that other articles haven't covered?

            Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

              Respected Sir, I am very sorry to trouble you like this again and again. My focus is freshers(people with a very little experience or no experience at all) should read this article. I want them to simply have a glance at it and be able to grasp it at the very instant they read it. Its no point using high end terminologies(they wont understand it. I used to be in the same boat :) i am still). This article should be damn simple,to the point, expressive, attractive. And yes thats a very valuable suggestion. Actually i am busy on a project, i am not able to give time to the article. This is irritating me. Well, i really want to thank you to take out some time to advice me. And really sorry to trouble you with something like this. Thanks a ton:thumbsup:, -Rahul

                It is no trouble, it is my pleasure. I'm happy to look over your article for formatting or suggestions whenever. And please do keep my previous tip in mind. Given your topic, saying what makes your article different from others on CodeProject will be necessary.

                Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

                  Why not ask Sean if you could be mentored? There's a mentor program here on CodeProject where you can ask people to look at your article and make suggestions to help improve it/make it ready for release.

                        Pete's really covered the basics. Once you have your article complete or nearly complete, you send me an email saying you're ready for a mentor to take a look over it, and then they interact with you on your forum, discussing ways to make your article better and help get it approved for CodeProject. Your current article probably needs a little more meat to it before the mentors can get into it though.

                          is it related to the topic on which i am writing? And yes my article needs a lot more content. I am reading up on it. Ok i will complete my article as soon as possible and ask for being mentored. Thanks, Rahul
