You can now link directly to the latest version in source control for downloading or browsing. For example, to browse whatever the latest version checked into source control for my Stick Figure Karate Fighter, you’ll use this URL: http://stickfigurekarate.codeplex.com/SourceControl/BrowseLatest Technorati Tags: CodePlex Tips

When you edit your release notes, you can use the wiki markup from the homepage, in case you want bulleted lists, bolded text, hyperlinks, etc. Technorati Tags: CodePlex Tips

Previously, I mentioned that you can sort by top rated release on CodePlex. But it is also interesting to know you can sort by most downloaded project in the past 7 days. We do past 7 days so that active projects are listed first

You may have noticed that some projects have a Download Now button on their homepage Whereas other projects don’t. I would love for all projects to have just a Download Now button, but unfortunately, we currently don’t have a default file concept in the default release.

You can use the following wiki syntax {silverlight:url=http://yourdomain.com/yourapp.xap,height=400,width=600} Check out http://silverlight.codeplex.com and http://sessionscheduler.codeplex.com to see examples. We introduced support for showing Silverlight apps on your wiki homepage in January of 2009, so we’re still trying to get the word out. You can find other macros to add to your wiki in the Wiki Markup Guide – Macros section

Yesterday’s tip was how to view revisions for a specific page. Today’s tip is how to view revisions for the entire wiki. On the sub navigation pane, there’s the Change History (all pages) link.

On any wiki page, excluding the homepage, you’ll find the section at the bottom to leave comments. The comment section is to provide feedback about the content on that page.

We offer a section on a CodePlex project homepage to list related projects at the bottom of the right-nav bar. Go to the Edit Project Summary & Details page to list your related projects. Technorati Tags: CodePlexTips

No April Fool’s jokes this year. Sorry.

Under Edit Project Summary & Details, you can change the URL for your CodePlex project. And we will redirect from your old URL to your new URL.

During the project creation process, the wizard asked you to provide a project summary (see below). We used to call this the project description, but thought project summary was a clearer terminology. In case you need to modify your project summary, you can click on the Edit Project Summary & Details link shown right above the page tabs for any project page
