Welcome to CodeASP.NET!Below are some of the tips which you can follow while posting questions on CodeASP.NET forums:
Be specific
Asking unclear questions won't help. If you are going to ask unclear question there may be more probability of receiving the same kind of unclear answers.
Avoid these kinds of questions:
Stop showing "Urgency" of your question
Stop posting questions with these keywords in your question: Urgent, Very urgent, Very important, ASAP... etc. We all are here on forums to share and help others at our wish and self-interest. People who are answering at forums are not paid and employed only to reply to questions very urgent. Everybody's time is precious and it is at their will and self-interest to reply according to their schedule. 99% of the time when people are asking questions, they need their answers at that time only. So be patient for good replies. Forums are a kind of tool where you can share and post questions and get replies via answers, it should not be misunderstood that it is the place for handing over your job's work by asking with urgency.Avoid these kinds of questions:
Be formal with your language in the questions
The above sentence doesn't mean to avoid using words like IMO, IMHO etc., but to avoid using words like dude, boys and girls, brb. Remaining formal with your language leaves a good impact to the user who you are expecting to answer.Avoid these kind of lines:
Be polite and humble: You should this maintain this behaviour. Nothing is stopping you to write May, Can, Could etc. You are communicating with other people who expect the same respect what you demand. Treat the other persons in the same manner what you expect from them. Don't get panic or angry after not getting satisfactory answers.Avoid these kind of lines:
Ask relevant questions:The question should be relevant. Ask relevant question on what is this site for. The questions should not be out of this world. It should not be harmful to a particular person like doing spam, deleting someone data etc. Avoid these kind of questions:
Help yourself first before asking questions:The above line means that you should try by yourself what you are asking, you should not ask questions blindly. You should explain in your question what did you try, what went wrong, where is the error, is there any other way of doing it.. etc. and then ask the questions in specific manner to get good replies.Avoid these kind of questions:
