You're in the
sql server reporting services
group:Formatting within a Textbox possible??
sql server reporting services:
Hi all.
Have been coming accross this same issue more and more. I am needed to take in some HTML and print it in a TextBox so that we can render a PDF with custom formatting. Up until now, I've written some custom code that replaces known HTML tags with ascii characters or line breaks, etc. But now I am required to recognize the BOLD and ITALICS properties of fonts. As far as I know, its imposible to set the format of text within a textbox (in line), without setting the entire object's format. Is that correct? The only thing I've come up with is the idea to create X amount of textboxes that are split up and used to dynamically change formats of text. This sounds like a huge thing to try and achieve, and I'm not sure it would even work. Anyone have ideas, or work arounds? There is no ASCII within a fontset that represtents the bold version that I could use? Any idea if RS 2005 will support inline formatting like this? Thanks,
The Program Manager for Reporting services has said this is high on the list
of needs for Reporting Services, but this did not make it into SQL 2005, but will be in the following release... -- Wayne Snyder, MCDBA, SQL Server MVP Mariner, Charlotte, NC www.mariner-usa.com (Please respond only to the newsgroups.)

Hi Wayne, thanks for the update, however do you know if it's possible or who
should be contacted in order to try to get this pushed up...possibly a hotfix, this is something that is used in a number of reports if not all and the workaround that was suggested above use to work prior to SP2 which removes leading spaces therefore does not allow you to line up your "manually formatted text" correctly. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. [quoted text, click to view] "Wayne Snyder" wrote:

Greetings. I have the same issue. Our developers came accross a utility that
they run within their .Net code that strips off the tags but that is not what I need. For example, the results is one big paragraph after it strips off all <br>, etc.... Is your custom code available for our use? Thanks. Dave.Sundell@Fiserv.Com [quoted text, click to view] "Arkiliknam" wrote:

all my custom code does is StringReplace on a set of predefined things... and
then strips all remaining html out.... nothing fancy [quoted text, click to view] "Dave Sundell" wrote:
