HTML string data and "Export"

[hienphand]

In my Web application, I am building a Topic Library, in which I allow users to post their topic in rich-text format.  I use 2 fields
- TopicName: type string.
- TopicContent: type string. I use RadEditor to help users to create the content and I store the HTML string to the database

Now, in Telerik Reporting, I am using 2 TextBox to display TopicName and TopicContent. The Report Preview works fine, it display the topic-content in the right format, rich-text. However, when I click on the button Export to export the report to PDF/Rich Text/TIFF/Excel, the results contain the whole HTML string. I think this is because of HTML render.

Does anyone have any suggestion to get the right format in PDF/RichText ?

I forgot, the print-out also contains HTML string when I hit button Print on the report preview. Other parts work well, except the output of TopicContent field

Hi hienphand,

Currently our Reporting offering does not operate with rich text and html handling. Exception is when the report is rendered in HTML because the browser that usually displays the report, handles the HTML itself. We are aware of this limitation and it is one of our highly requested features which are in our TODO list. Here is the forum topic that discusses the matter.

Best wishes,
Steve
