Endtag in Htmltextbox

[Fredrik]

I have a richtextbox in Silverlight and I save the content as xaml in the database.

When I use it,  I convert the filed to html and use it in Telerik reporting as a htmltextbox.

The problem is when using WriteEndElement it create the endtag as />, If there is no content.

When I binding the htmlfield to htmltextbox,  it ignore the endtags and it creates the endtags last in the text.

Below, see the content of the htmltextbox. It ignore the red text, entags,  and I missed the text “Head”.

Is this a fault?

 

<div><p STYLE="font-size:12;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-align:Left;"><span STYLE="font-size:14;font-weight:bold;">Head</span></p><p STYLE="font-size:12;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-align:Left;"><span STYLE="font-weight:bold;" /></p><p STYLE="font-size:12;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-align:Left;"><span STYLE="font-weight:normal;">Hello.</span></p><p STYLE="font-size:12;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-align:Left;"><span STYLE="font-weight:normal;" /></p><p STYLE="font-size:12;font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-align:Left;"><span STYLE="font-weight:normal;">Hello two.</span></p></div>

 

I also have another question. Will it come a RichTextBox in Telerik reporting?

Hi Fredrik,

We were able to reproduce the problem on our end and verified that it is a problem with the HtmlTextbox engine. We've logged the issue in our bug tracking system and would address it for subsequent version of the product.
For the time being, you have two options:

• avoid creation of empty block elements.
• manually handle the output of the richtextbox before feeding it to the HtmlTextBox, so that such cases are converted from <span /> to <span></span>

As for your second question, currently we do not have any plans for this. You can read more on why we have chosen to go with the HtmlTextBox in the following forum thread.

Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience. Your Telerik points have been updated for bringing this to our attention.

All the best,
Steve
the Telerik team
