New Post: Share Code

Yes I think this is a very good idea that can boost the usability of dotspatial, alhough in my opinion it could erroneously become a clone of the discussion section.

What I mean is that every code proposed by one user should be tested or at least checked by a dotspatial expert to assess if it is correct or not. Furthermore shall this eventual new section give standard users the possibility to comment on posts? This would lead in my opinion to a clone of the discussion section. What do you think?

The main problem is that there are so many methods and properties within any dotspatial class that are not documented at all and I found myself many times using some of these methods and properties without really knowing what they mean and why one needs to use them (say e.g. the fastdrawnstate...what is it? where and why is it necessary to call it?). Many things I know about dotspatial didn't come from reading the documentation section, neither from the discussions, but I just tested them in so many ways that at one point I could make them work...but I don't know if my way of making them working is the optimum, neither if it is completely correct.
