This is not an article - so don't even post it around like it is!


If you want to advertise your PDF's, fine - but don't advertise your product as a useful article when all it really is is a piece of marketing.


I expected to find some reasonable content or overview here - not a pitch for my cash.

    I agree with the first poster, this article has no useful content.

    I subscribe to this feed for the articles. I don't mind adverts around the articles, or references to related O'Reilly books in the articles but this kind of item is just pure spam.

    If you want to advertise your PDF book, why not write a good, useful introductory article about ClickOnce and then refer to your book for more information? That's the approach other articles take and I think that's perfectly fine and useful. Why break a good model from which everyone benefits?

    You're right Joe--it's not an article, and we tried to be careful in our wording to let readers know this was a downloadable PDF.
    Thanks for your input though.
