Hello,
I am trying to get a hyperlink to work correctly that displays values from a databse field in the link. I can get that to work using the texbox, but then when I want to export to PDF the html is in the PDF. I'm not sure how to get this to work with the HTMLbox. I read that the latest SP has some fixes for the htmlbox and hyperlinks. Can someone from Telerik or anyone else show an example of how to correctly add a link that uses database fields in the actual link while also being able to export to PDF safely without showing the html markup?
Thanks,
Justin

Hi Justin,
It would seem that you're using the standard TextBox item, when you should use the HtmlTextBox item. This way all supported html tags and css styles would show properly under PDF as well. However as explained in the latter article: "HyperLink (<A> tag) is interactive (acts as actual hyperlink) under HTML rendering extension only." i.e. it would look like a hyperlink, but would not work as hyperlink.
All the best,
