Hi All,
Is there a FAQ or Charter for this group? There seems to be an awful
lot of off-topic posting, i.e. stuff that has nothing to do with C#. I
used to be a comp.lang.c regular, and find the signal-to-noise ratio
here *very* low.
Many posters seem confused between the C# language and functionality
provided by the Framework, and there are many posts that have nothing to
do with .NET (e.g. an 'how do I?' question to which the answer involves
a Win32 .DLL and PInvoke).
IMO, groups like this could provide an excellent way to learn a language
- start off observing, then posting questions, then answering them,
thereby keeping ones skills sharp. This group doesn't seem
well-focussed enough to do that.
I don't mean this as a criticism - I'm simply trying to get an handle on
what this group is for. Perhaps there'd be a demand for a separate
group, like comp.lang.csharp?
