I clearly do understand your point of view...
Are the other telerik articles paid articles? Search just for the term "telerik" and you will find many articles like the small thing i wrote...
And as Kunal_Chowdhury describes in his article
Working with BusyIndicator of Telerik Silverlight RadControls[^]
there is a free trial version of the telerik libs too, meaning that one can test the code without buying anything....
Anyway, as I said, I do understand what you are meaning and I will post third party articles not on CP anymore...

Same for me. If CP is staying on that decision, I will not post anymore 3rd party controls article here from now. Also assuming that, those previous articles will not delete from here.
One more query to Chris, what if anyone feed a blog post which says about 3rd party controls? Will that case be taken care too?

Blog articles must also follow the submission guidelines.
I know this is difficult and frustrating so thanks for being supportive and understanding. We wish the world worked differently some days.

It's a bad day for me that some of my articles have been removed because of that issue. I obey the rules of CP and can't do anything more for that. I will ensure that, I will not post any article on 3rd party controls from now. Have no other choice than that. 
Will request my readers to follow my blog in such case.

Sorry for waking up the sleeping dog  But at least CP is fair to the community...

Waking up the dog again?
Anyway, anyone who is interested in the RadMessageBox article can find the article here[^].
I will publish articles about 3rd party libs there.
@Chris: Is it ok when I do add the link to my personal CP blog?

Hi Kunal,
I have gone through and removed the articles on the list that require third party components.
Unfortunately until we can think of a system that considers and effectively deals with every possibility no article that directly requires third party components can remain. If you or other members find any more, please let us know.
The ideal is to allow and reward authors like yourself who only seek to help other developers with coding problems, but as previously discussed it is a tricky proposition that we do not have a solution for 'yet.'
Thanks,

I just posted a comment with some HTML, and it actually treated it as HTML rather than encoding it. I'm guessing this behavior is intentional, although it was not expected. I had no way of knowing that the HTML would not be encoded as it used to be. Perhaps it's time comments got previews? Or maybe not... it was easy enough to edit my comment after I posted it to correct it.

First you guys don't want HTML, then you do, then it's all bad. Sheesh! 
How about a "Encode HTML tags" checkbox?
Or better still: A check box with whatever wording you feel is best.

The System.MindReading namespace is still in beta and heard the GetUserWishes(DateTime.Now) is unstable due to constant and unpredictable changes in sampling data. I think the biggest problem they are having is getting consistent, non-conflicting and repeatable data.

Sir, we don't need The System.MindReading namespace nor the GetUserWishes(DateTime.Now) we just want to stop using < and her sister >.
is this a dreem, sir.

So then what about those who asked to be allowed to include links? Or bold?

As a consequence of another thread (two down from here) I decided to update my TT on PRE tags. only to (re)discover a bunch of issues which I will list shortly:
1. title length checks, just silly.
2. vertical spacing seems arbitrary; how can I get the first paragraph closer to its title, and consistently so?
3. HTML tags inside PRE: bold "works" and is hardly noticeable, italics does nothing, underline shows its tags. This has been better before.
4. without lang="text" even the HTML-escape snippet would show odd coloring for no apparent reason.
5. forums show some icon next to the author, Q&A lists total rep points, however articles and TT don't do any such thing, just a plain author name. why?

Luc Pattyn wrote: 1. title length checks, just silly.
Allowing single word or pointlessly short questions: automatically avoidable. You've put me on notice enough times saying I should do more automated checks and balances of input and I think this falls squarely into that realm. I am, however, open to adjusting the limits, but I stand by the opinion that yes, it's simple to craft a very small title or question, but that it is just as easy and usually more valuable to be more descriptive.
In your "Using PRE tags" tip the title suggests to me a tip about using PRE tags in HTML. It's actually a tip about using PRE tags in CodeProject content so I would call it "Using PRE tags in questions and articles". It would certainly satisfy those who continually push for the wording on the site to be more accurate and descriptive.
Luc Pattyn wrote: vertical spacing seems arbitrary; how can I get the first paragraph closer to its title, and consistently so?
The first paragraph is separated from the title by the abstract line and then the list of attrbiutes. You've added what looks like most of the main attributes to your "Using PRE Tags" tip which means when you shrink/expand your browser that line of attributes may wrap and drop the first paragraph down even more.
How about trimming the list of attributes to something reasonable? Or even just having the tags "CodeProject" and "Formatting" for example.
Luc Pattyn wrote: HTML tags inside PRE: bold "works" and is hardly noticeable, italics does nothing, underline shows its tags. This has been better before.
Bold hasn't changed in years and italics are certainly working for me (and again, haven't changed). It's the nature of the courier font that we've used since day one. I can't remember a time we supported underline. We have always reserved the underline decoration for hyperlinks.
[Edit: I've added in support for underlines. I can see bold really well on all my monitors, but if you're having problems maybe so are others so this will give you another option]
Luc Pattyn wrote: without lang="text" even the HTML-escape snippet would show odd coloring for no apparent reason.
You mean the block starting with <pre lang='cs'...?
Think what you're asking the colouriser to do: Do you want it to colourise the C# code, or the HTML tags? It can't do both because there's no syntax in practice that would ask for this. My best suggestion is to set the lang='html' and do something like
<pre lang='cs'> <!--
private static int multiply(int arg1, int arg2) {
return arg1*arg2;
}
</pre> <!--
Although I am guessing this isn't what you're after. Alternatively I could add the option to use a <span class='no-colour'>...</span> to give you the ability to uncolour parts of the PRE text.
[Edit: adding "no-color" and "no-colour" now.]

That's just the way the lists of those items evolved independently. I do have a task in the list to make these consistent.
