Answer 1

Is there a reason you don't want to use the WebBrowser control?

Answer 2

RTF encoding is different from HTML. You cannot do this straight away. Rowland has rightly suggested WebBrowser control.

If not, then you need to write your own HTML to RTF converter or find something similar.

Answer 3

If you want HTMl highlighted text int he RichTextBox you can use something like this: link From there you can make your own highlighting (based on the html elements) Here's also an example link2

Answer 4

You can try the HTML control for .NET which I wrote: see http://www.modeltext.com/html/

It's a custom control to render HTML for Windows Forms, which doesn't use a web browser.
