Personally, I oppose that.
a) Most of the "buttons on forms in comboboxes" questions are perfectly
valid questions on use of the .NET Framework.
b) You cannot divorce C# from the .NET Framework (there wouldn't be a lot
left, would there? :-)
c) Yes, traffic is high... I barely have the bandwidth for a quick graze
over the list of questions and answers. That means finding something that
interests you should be fairly easy, and the information flow is high. I
also monitor the Biztalk newsgroup (not the beta). Now, that's a LOW volume
newsgroup. I learn a lot more from this one.
d) If someone has a question, they should have one forum to post it in that
encompasses the subject area (within reason). If I think my problem is C#,
it is usually a framework problem, and I have to solve it with a framework
'fix', then how would I know which forum to post to?
e) I see very very very few questions on this forum that are specific to the
visual studio environment. Nearly all of the problems are C# or .NET
Framework problems. So, if you create a new forum, or a subforum, you will
get all of the questions from this one moving over there.
f) it is HARD to get a community going that is this active. Moving forums
may be all that is required to fracture it, causing good posters and solvers
to go to one or another of the commercially-sponsored forums. That would
make the new forum far less valuable.

news:eJ**************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl...
i have raised this question before, but i can't help it doing it again!
why there is no separate newsgroup discussing the c#language,
not the .net framework, visual c# etc.
i am not that interested in buttons on forms in comboboxes...
and the traffic in this group is *really* high.
