Microsoft! whether we can upload the projects (in .zip file) ?

I_AM_DON_AND_YOU?

Whether we can upload the projects (in .zip format) in these newsgroups? I
am asking this because earlier there are more than 50 posts (in one thread)
about this query and they are contradicting with each other (You can find
that post by name date10/22/2003 Time 7:22PM)

I want to get the answer from Microsoft. Therefore, please answer this query
only if you are from Microsoft.

Thanks in advance!
 
are you talking about the chris woodriff post about api problems?

i'm confused b/c no one responded to it and it is the only post i see for
that date/time. the fix, i imagine, i to pass the structure byval instead of
byref.

anyway, if you want to post a project...or anything else...(which is not a
very netiquette thing to do), just zip it and attach it to your post, then
send your post as usual. post snippets of pertainent code w/n the post...we
don't need to see a whole project. as far as your reason for wanting to
"upload" your project, contradiction will always abound as long as there's
more than one way to skin a cat.

"Upload the projects"

What projects? Upload?
Why don't you use a regular mail/newsgroup client like anybody else?

Ok, I'm testing... to post a message with Outlook Express 6 attaching a
small zip.

If you can't see it, then news server must be blocking it somehow...
probably an anti-virus protection.

Steve:

I am talking about the same date & time I wrote. It is Post from me i.e
"I_AM_DON_AND_YOU?" with subject "But in Context Menu - again (project
Attached)". Actually there is a typo-error because "But.." should be "Bug".

Mario!

I am playing Mario since 8 years. What a game!!!

Yes I can read your attachment. Actually I was asking this because day
before yesterday I asked some query regarding my code and some "experts"
were saying they couldn't tell without seeing the project. So then I
uploaded the project. Then other group of "experts" are asking as to why I
uploaded that. In the fight between one group of "experts" with other group
of "experts" the real issue remained out of context.

Some newsservers block attachments, so some visitors won't see them.
Some newsreaders block attachments, so some visitors won't see them.
Some virus scanners block attachments, so some visitors won't see them.
Some web interfaces block attachments, so some visitors won't see them.

=> Don't make use of the attachment features in newsgroups.

Block attachments too.
 
Hi Mario,

Why did you do it???

ROFL. Because it told me not to and I just <had to know>!!

Hi Don,

Lol. - No, I'm not Microsoft either!!

But this is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/default.asp?url=/newsgroups/manag
ed/NodePages/tips.asp

And here are the words from the horses mouth.
Adding Attachments
To add an attachment, either type in the location of the file on your computer
in the Attach File field or click the Browse... button to locate the file.
Only one file can be attached per message. Please restrict your attachments to
file sizes of 1 MB or less.

I hope nobody ever posts 1MB!!

Regards,
Fergus
 
Hi Fergus,

Maybe it is good to contribute that link to all Microsoft German newsgroups,
it seems the are using the wrong netetiqete (that is not a rule of course).

What do you think about that idea, we cannot leave those people with the
wrong style from posting.

:-))

I will include 1 MB attachments in my future posts to Fergus and you.

Someone has found a web-link from Microsoft Website and it clearly says that
it is ok to have attachment (less than 1MB size) at Microsoft Newsgroups.

Take a look:

I already know the link, but it doesn't make sense because it will
prevent a large amount of users to use the newsgroups. In the German
newsgroups you will find an updated version that says that attachments
should not be used. I will ask Microsoft to include that in the general
netikette too.
 
Herfried,

I have fun with this, I was looking for a German site where this was on, but
could not find it, than I had added that as a link.

:-)

But seriously, I think FTP is too no option and a Website too not. Not
everybody has that direct to his posibilities. By instance in larger
companies it is for the developers almost unreachable because of security
issues.

What is wisdom, I would that I had the answer.

Sei OT. Questo è un newsgroup dedicato al solo vb.net. Puoi provare a

That is absolutly against all newsgroup community rules.
Every individual can choose for it, but it can never be a rule in a
newsgroup community.For English readers, beneatj is a part of the netetiquete from the German
Microsoft Site.
I keep it untranslated because otherwise we can start making a thread about
simple words. Who wants to translate it, use www.babelfish.org please.

Anhänge sind in den Microsoft-Newsgroups generell unerwünscht. Sie
verlängern für die User lediglich die Downloadzeit auch wenn sie sie gar
nicht lesen möchten. Auch die Virengefahr ist bei Attachments nicht zu
unterschätzen. Die meisten User, besonders die Stammuser, übergehen solche
Postings. Verweisen Sie lieber in Ihrem Posting mit Links auf entsprechende
Downloadmöglichkeiten bzw. auf die Quelle Ihrer Informationen im Web.

In this text is nothing that Fergus(I think) or I(for sure) do not agree
with

But there is nowhere written "Verboten"

From de.newusers.infos: (like the 'bible' of the usenet)

MsgId: de-newusers-infos/netiquette/[email protected]



My translation of #16:

16. Attention with binaries and multipart messages!

Binary files (graphics, music, executables etc.) are unwelcome in the
discussion groups of this network. For binary files, there are specialized
groups. In general it is better to do without binary files in the usenet,
but instead to point to download possibilities via FTP or WWW.

The same applies to so called "multipart" messages. [...] In the "de.*"
hierarchy it is common practice to use plain text only.
