Best Way To Ask An Expert On the ASP.NET Forums

After spending almost 1 year contributing in the ASP.NET forums, i collected some tips to help community members to achieve fast, accurate, and direct answers from the experts. Below are the steps

  1.     Choose the appropriate forum where your post belongs
  2.     Supply a descriptive title for your post
  3.     Start your post by mentioning which .NET framework, language, IDE, and which web browser you are using
  4.     Demonstrate what you are trying to achieve
  5.     Demonstrate where your problem relies
  6.     Supply the code that needs to be fixed.
  7.     Go directly straight to the point.
  8.     Write a well formatted post.

The above tips give experts the ultimate option to answer your post directly without having you to wait more time trying to explain your issue.

N.B: Experts you are welcomed to add on the list if you have anything else to be considered.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards

Read your post before saving it. Too many times, the text is too difficult to follow. I have struggled through posts missing key words, using the wrong words, or omits a key point. If I go "huh?" after reading it twice, I'm not going to answer it.

I try to answer questions as often as possible and I find many times the person asking the question just does not know how to describe their problem. Peter Blum nailed it on the head for me. Knowing what to ask has got to be the hardest part when you are working with something new. As a guideline I think a question should state 1) the problem as they understand it and 2) what they have tried to resolve the problem. From there I think I would be better equipped to relate to their issue and attempt to suggest a solution.

Hi Haissam, Thanks for your tips.

I can add this:

Search for your problem in asp.net forums before you ask.
