  Hi, To write better,one must read better.Before hitting the keyboard i would like to suggest you to pick an area of intrest which you feel you want to write about as well, and should be something totally gennuine or new if possible. Read some articles in that area and definitely you can find an idea which you can put your thoughts to. I will request even if you are reffering to any concluded work, ensure you give proper credits to the authors/websites and keep the spirit positive for readers and writers. Its a continious learning process,what I suggested is my humble opinion; I am sure once you stick to the basics and start writing you can come out as an effective author.Good Luck.

Dear Prashanth, When you write an article and you copy some data from another article, you need to reference it and should give the due credits to the author. In this case the article is explained at http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Web-Parts.aspx. This is unfair to publish someone's work in your name and not giving any reference at all about the author/website who's work being mentioned. Thanks.
