Hi Vasudevan!
There is a TryParse function that does not throw an exception
The following will throw an exception:
int i = int.Parse("VDK is the king of web testing");
The following will not:
int i;
if (int.TryParse("VDK is the king of web testing", out i))
{
}
Exceptions thrown for invalid data (non normal course of processing) should not be that big cause of concern
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

There was a recent discussion on 'Sydney GetTogether' and Vikram had also reminded the participants to get photographs and share across the same.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2391395[^]
I just thought CP can extend the 'Get To Gether/Events' forum by also narrating the various events that are organized within the context of CP itself. The earlier chennai CP meet photos are currently stored in Flickr and other third party.
Within CP, we can have a section like 'CPian Meet/Events' and we can have them organized from within.

Chris I've been being auto logged out periodically all day. Is this a session expiry tming change, I've been intermittent today, or a bug resurfaced?
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

We had a bit of old code sneak temporarily back into the code base but that's all been hunted down and exorcised. We updated the site a few times today so that may have been the cause.
Is it still happening? Any pattern you can see?

Has been fine so far today. It didn't seem to happen while I was posting or browsing but everytime I did some 'real' work and let up on CP for a few tens of minutes I would come back to find myself logged off, hence my thought of a session timeout somewhere. I'll post again if it reoccurs assuming for now that it was just the updates to blame. Thanks for your continued sterling work.

If appending the string "Device drivers" to "Hardware" forum, maybe there would be more driver programmers knowing the right place to discuss.

I was just wondering if there is any possibility of (and interest in) having a PowerShell section on the Code Project. There's so much .Net goodness that you can do with PowerShell. I have found that PowerShell resources are very spread out and sometimes hard to find. It would be great to bring some of the community here.

You enjoying having the ability to add sections (although I've got a feeling this one has been there before being asked for) easily?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a new section.
But are you asking if the weight of absolute power of life and death of a section has gone to my head?
Yes. Yes it has. MwahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Very cool. I'm looking forward to writing my first article on Code Project about some little PowerShell bits I've been playing with.
Thanks!

I'm not saying resort to a capcha or anything, but perhaps a little link so that those responses may be marked as spam in the same manner as the ones in the message boards.
I have no blog...

I think we can try using Akismet webservice to chase spammers from posting junk things in our comments and other textboxes.

Hi Chris,
I like the "modified on Sunday, January 13, 2008 5:03:32 PM" footnote you have added
to messages that get edited. However, the time you show seems to be American eastcoast time,
which is not relevant to all people, and a bit confusing when viewing a page of messages which
normally show local time. May I suggest you either show local time or add a time zone
indication or something like that.
PS: modified for illustration purposes. Demo will fail on eastcoast though!

We could do this but the timestamp is stored as static text and so we'd have to either store the modified time in the database or parse the message for the timestamp and reqrite it based on your current timezone.

You could also use something like "last modified 8hrs 21mins after originally posted"...

I'm not sure you don't already have this in place, but while working on a new client web site it occurred to me that you could give CP affiliates a "CP ID", which the affiliate could use to identify the clicks coming from his site. The clicks could be redeemable by the affiliate in views (on CP) of ads for the affiliate's products.
