Can anyone give clue how to show pop up message including angle brackets

Answer 1

I think RadAlert tries to parse your string as a HTML string...

If that is the case, replace the < characters with the string < and > characters with >

Also, you might face other issues too, so you should escape other characters too: this question has good answers

Quoting the accepted answer:

You can use System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() and HtmlDecode() for these purposes
