Hi,
is there any simple way to convert the content of a RadRichTextBox into valid HTML for the HtmlTextBox in a report?
I try the following code:

HtmlFormatProvider myHmtlProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();

RadDocument myDocument = Program.currentDocument;

string hmtlCode = myHmtlProvider.Export(myDocument);

rptTestReport newReport = new rptTestReport();

newReport.htmlTextBoxTest.Value = hmtlCode;

this.reportViewer.Report = newReport;

this.reportViewer.RefreshReport();

I would by nice if there is an provider available with the specific limitations of the HtmlTextBox .
Kind regards.

Hi Christian,

Here is what the RadRichTextBox team recommends:
In order to achieve best compatibility of the generated HTML with Telerik Reporting, you should apply the following settings:
DocumentExportLevel - Fragment;
StylesExportMode - Inline;
StyleRepositoryExportMode - DontExportStyles;
ExportFontStylesAsTags - true.
Source: Import/Export settings.

All the best,
Elian
the Telerik team

Hi,
only the first two options are also available in WinForms. The other two relate to Silverlight components. I have now created the following code:

private void rptViewer_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

HtmlFormatProvider myHmtlProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();

myHmtlProvider.ExportSettings.DocumentExportLevel = Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.FormatProviders.Html.DocumentExportLevel.Fragment;

myHmtlProvider.ExportSettings.StylesExportMode = Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.FormatProviders.Html.StylesExportMode.Inline;

string hmtlCode = myHmtlProvider.Export(Program.currentDocument);

rptTestReport newReport = new rptTestReport();

newReport.htmlTextBoxTest.Value = hmtlCode;

this.reportViewer.Report = newReport;

this.reportViewer.RefreshReport();

}

The code did not lead to the result. It was rather a blank screen appears.
