Snippet Repository
-
I love Code Project articles, samples, and controls. How about a Snippet repository? Scott H.
I think that would just fill up with crap. Articles are good because it encourages people to tell the world what their application does. Typically, the artcle shows the snippet that is important to the example already. A snippet repository would just encourage people to dump blocks of code with no explanation. The noise to signal ratio would mean that it would quickly become useless.

What you say is true. I like the kind of control repository Code Project maintains. The articles (generally) are educational and practical. My suggestion was to have a repository similar to the control repository. Upon reflection however, the educational aspect may quickly be exhausted. OK. I retract my suggestion.
