C# Chat Wiki

What is the C# chat room wiki? What are some guidelines if I am new to chatting at Stack Overflow or to the C# chat room?

I have at least 20 reputation on stackoverflow and would like to use the chat room feature. Naturally my first choice was C#.

Are there any guidelines I should know about for the C# chat room?

Answer

Guidelines

Etiquette

Asking

Don't ask if you can ask, it is recursive
Even if no one is around, you should still ask your question
If you can reproduce your problem chances are someone can fix it
If you have a question about your code, please show the code in a small snippet or in a link
Simply stating that "it doesn't work" without explaining what is not working will not get your problem solved

Editing

To edit your last message (2 minute window) use the up key on your keyboard while focused on the textarea input

Message Options

To see other options on your sent messages, click to the left of them in order to view a popout interface

Message Formatting

If you do send code, please use `` for a small code block (this will only work when a line break has not been used)
To generate a line break, use SHIFT+ENTER
If you wish to send a large code block with line breaks, use CTRL+K while focused on the textarea input or click the "fixed font" button next to "send".
As with comments on questions and answers, **bolds**, *italicizes*, ---~~strikes~~---, [LINK TEXT](http://website.com) creates a named link for LINK TEXT, [tag:NAME] creates a tag link for NAME
If you wish to use a "sarcasm" font then you may use *`sarcastic comment`* to indicate sarcasm.

"One Boxing"

There are few other special cases for chat such as linking questions and answers. These links will turn into mini previews (please do not spam them)
A link which ends in a viable image extension will also be transformed into the image in chat (please nothing not safe for work)
