I read:

Quote:
Project definition: A Project is a code repository imported from a service such as GitHub, BitBucket or Visual Studio online. The repository must have a README file for it to be considered for import, and must adhere to the usual editorial guidelines for articles.

But I see following projects already published (and have come across similar few more in edit/approve queue). Either I am missing something on why they are approved or some how they sneaked in.
SDL
EDT Text Editor
SMU

Help me close the gap here.

Currently these are closed. Looking at their revision history I'm not sure they were ever live, but may not have been displaying properly as closed?

Thanks,

Yesterday it was in queue and they were revised version of already published projects. Thus the query and confusion.

Again, this was not first time. I will share once I see something similar again. Thanks Sean.

Intel's Industry Content Postings

21-Jul-20 8:27

Article is : MajorRAT[^]

Take another close look at what this is about and the function list. There are items like open second backdoor, activate key logger, and see victims desktop live. While potentially useful, this looks rather malicious to me. Incomplete or not, should this even be here?

While you're at it, have a look this user's contributions. Hint - there are none.

There is something I am curious about that I have noticed in Intel's postings. They all say, "for our sponsors at CodeProject." That can't possibly be true. Why would CodeProject sponsor a multi-billon dollar company?

Isn't it the other way around? Isn't Intel a sponsor of CodeProject?

My apologies if I have posted this before and forgotten.

I understand it the other way around: it may be that Intel is a sponsor of CP.

Not comfortable with this question

24-Feb-20 8:15

We're just really, really generous.

You mean this line:

Quote:
This article is in the Product Showcase section for our sponsors at CodeProject

If this is the case then how about the less mind bending

Quote:
This article is posted as a Product Showcase on behalf of our sponsors

Seems borderline close to hacking/bypassing security; and it is similar to question asked within the last day or so on the same sublecj

Using limited demo versions of paid libraries in articles?

7-Jan-20 3:40

A tricky one but there is tons of info lying around for questions like these, regardless.

The biggest problem here is that the question "What are prerequisites to code for bypassing any network" is too vague to be a question that can be answered with a sensible, specific answer.

This article in moderation: Converting Excel file to image format[^] (that, if anything, should be a Tip, but that's another point) demonstrates how to do something with the Spire.XLS for .NET library, which is a paid library but with a free demo version offering very limited functionality[^] (i.e. the free version only allows reading/writing a limited number of rows from an Excel file). Is it acceptable to have articles/tips that use these kind of libraries as foundation?

[Edit] Considering that it got closed as Spam, I think I have my answer there Laugh | :laugh:

Ashutosh Gpta[^] and Rajeev Panday[^]
The former has been kicked for plagiarism earlier this week and the latter, presenting himself as his roommate, tried to speak in his favour.
But reading OP's comment to the answer of the second (solution 2) of How to dynamically add XML elements to XML files keeping the same format using linq to XML C#[^], the sock-puppetry is now kind of blattant. Should we let him persist in his schyzophrenia?
The first account is on the way to be flagged again anyway, since he reposted some material which was questionable in the first place.

Changing Console Text & Background Color[^]

With regards to the article mentioned above, I feel that in addition to C++, it would be good to have C# sample as well as C# is more relevant. Would like to know what others feel about this article...

I feel that the article would fit better as a Tip.

I don't see what language choice has to do with the moderation of an article, though. If an author chooses to write their article/tip in C++ then it's exactly that, a C++ article/tip. It should not be held back just because it's not your language of choice or because another language is more "relevant".

Re: Addition of C# sample would add value to this?

Agree, thanks for your thoughts on both points, this being better as a Tip than an article and the point regarding language.

Why GuiLite is the Simplest GUI Library?[^]

This is what you typically see on a website for a software product - a sales brochure, and not much more.

I can't believe it was approved.
