Can the .NET ReportViewer render HTML ?

Question

One of my report's text data sources contains some formatting in HTML, just the basic formatting tags such as paragraph, bold, etc.

Can the ReportViewer be made to render the formatted text? If not, can anyone recommend a work-around?

Thanks in advance, Wen

Answer 1

I don't think that's possible, but you can use the webbrowser control in your form(?) in addition to the reportviewer

Answer 2

The ReportViewer could not render the HTML formatting natively.

As is mentioned elsewhere on S.O., when it comes to parsing HTML, the Html Agility pack proves to be a great solution. We used it to remove the HTML tags before passing the content over to the ReportViewer.

Easy, free and open source.
