Rich Text Format interpretation using .RDLC report file

Can someone point me to any RTF text interpretation capability with VB 2005 .rdlc file? I would like to select a field that is saved to SQL server with formatting, and do so without reporting the format string.

This is what I would like to avoid reporting: http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/6217/rtf1gd.png

Thanks, josh.

Rich text formatting is not supported. You would have to write your own custom code to interpret the text to display in the text box.|||

I've searched the web for example code for my report, but haven't had much luck. Any ideas you could provide me?

thanks again.

Refer to my post in this thread. I have a walkthrough and class code that should solve your problem.

Thanks, I will give this a try on Reporting Services.

Do you know if this can work with a locally processed report with windows forms?

|||It should work fine. It is a pretty generic class that just renders the RTF to a fixed size, creates an array of images that correspond to the total number of pages then either merges all of the pages into a single image, returns back a specific page, returns back a bit array (which is what is required for reporting services) or returns all of the pages in an ArrayList.
