In maps article that was not an anchor text. It was embedded in the picture. I hide it too. Removed almost all the anchor text from other articles. I just interlinked them with my code project articles. If you still find the links them then tell me. Rolling back the articles usually broke the things for me. It would be easier if you find the link and remove them directly from there. I believe that is why a community is for! Finally, I request from all the people here to read them and if you find them interesting then upvote :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yes, make sure that it is old enough.

Great. Under the heading 'spam and abuse' I consider everything that is unethical, not the best practice or etc. Saying the exact term is not my goal. I have given you the examples of other bloggers and platforms where it is normal practice and does not considered 'site driving' a.k.a un-ethical. I believe when the first reporter of the article was in doubt every body else just jump on it. I believe that doubt is good enough for me. Finally, thanks for your feedback but you are not the only one who is telling me what is allowed and what is not.

Nelek, Great insights. I was qouting the down votes given by some of the reviewers here based upon the assumptions of a spammy article. I do care about the down votes given by real readers or the readers for whom the article was intended for. This is the reasons I deleted several of my articles that were disliked by my readers. Also, link in the autobiography is permitted in code project rules after you earned certain reputation.(which I did). Beside that every other link in my articles is highly related. Finally, I believe I have a different mind set for the term 'publicity'. I put a link for those readers who find the article great and at the end they really want to learn more( for that I put a link at the end). I consider this as my obligation towards my readers. Many students has contacted me for help. Unfortunately on codeprojectit is considered spam. Anyway, I look forward to writing more articles and helping students. -Umair

Hey Griff, I tried to write content that is valuable for the readers. I work hard to get them interested and educated until the end of my article. At the very last I gave them a related link to my website which they can follow if they like my content. I believe, I earned it. That is how other website who allow guest post from authors. Somehow, my latest article gave the impression of some 'site driving' spam. I didn't have that spammy intention. People don't read spammy article upto the end. They fly away after reading first 2 paragraph. Anyway, I would like you to review your decision and upvote my article. Thanks

Hmmm. What can I do to comply with the forum policy. Remove all the links or specific links. Here is the link to updated article: Uncomfortable Truth About Programming[^] There were two links. One was at the end of article that points to home page. The second link was related to within the content that points to another article. I have re-posted this article from my own website. Re-posting is according to codeproject rules and regulation. (Also provided original article URL)

Also pointing to related content on other websites (not the homepage) is considered 'spam'. I am just curios. -Umair

checkbox control checked property will only return either true or false. Also the text property only returned the text associated with the control. One way around that I come up is that: You will have to write an if statement before the e.Graphics.Drawstring.

if(metroCheckBox.checked)
{

e.Graphics.DrawString("Customer Items: " + metroCheckBox1.Text, new Font("Arial", 14, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new Point(25, 320));

}
else
{
// do nothing or Whatever you wanted to do such as print..
}

There is no problem with your code if that can solve your problem. From design point of view it looks great. As one answer above mentioned that you can use many other types of solution to accomplish timing and scheduling task. That also depend upon your needs. If you need a precise timer such as with 1ms accuracy (Stopwatch can very up-to 20-100 ms) then you should use multimedia timers.

I like a workspace free of any noise, disturbances and other distractions caused by not wanted peoples.. That is most important thing which I have not got in any of the environments where I have worked.
