ActiveX Control For Converting Rich Text To HTML

Rich Text Support

This question has been asked a lot, without a definitive answer. Can you tell me if SQL Server 2008 will support rich text. I believe the November CTP does not have this functionality. It is a pretty important decision regarding my organization's adoption of the new product.
Thank you

Rich Text Field

I currently have a simple project where we need to store paragraphs for letters that will be automatically printed and then mailed to cusomters. These letters will be created based on certain criteria.

I have the SQL database set up with two fields...the paragraphCode (which is the key) and then the paragraph. These paragraphs were originally created in Word and some of these paragraphs contain bulleting and other rich text features. I have built a small utility in ASP (using VB .Net) for our intranet to view / insert / edit these paragraphs. If a user is copying and pasting the paragraph from a Word document, what should this paragraph field's datatype be declare as? It is currently NVARCHAR(MAX).

Thanks for the information

Datatypes That Preserve Rich Text

Hey there - I have a textbox (C# 1.1 OR 2.0) that I want to take it's contents and post to a datatype of some sort in SQL2k5 and have it preserve the breaks (return keystrokes) so when the data is presented, it can hold a paragraph form. Is this possible?something like this: <asp:TextBox id="txtContent" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="10"></asp:TextBox>Right now, I'm using nvarchar(4000) as the datatype but if I were to type, say 3 paragraphs, the data returned in the datagrid I bind that data to shows only one long string of data. For the time being, I have been puttting HTML formatting tags in the content I'm posting to the DB, but ultimately don't want to have to do that. I don't want to have to use a Text Editor (like FTB or FCKeditor) if necessary because they seem very much involved for the simple need I have which is to preserve paragraph formatting.So, is there another datatype in SQL2k5 that I should be using? Or are there simple code snippets I can utilize that will recognize a carriage return as a </p><p> tag?I'm trying to migrate to 2.0 as much as possible, so any C# code would be greatly appreciated in 2.0!Thanks for your help!iSheahan

Removing Rich Text Formatting From A Field

I have a field where the data is stored with RTF. I know SQL Reporting Services cannot display it properly. Is there way to remove the RTF formatting codes through a function to just pull out the text and displya it in the text box?

Create Rich Text From A Select And Save It In A Field

Hi,
I want to execute some queries inside a stored procedure, get the data and create from them some strings with formatted parts (bold, italic, underline, different color fonts) and save them in a text field. These strings are going to be displayed in some DBRichText control in a database application built with Delphi. Is there an easy way to create these complex rtf formats in MSSQL
or some ideas regarding this problem?

SSRS Newbie - How To Display Rich Text In A Report

Hi

(Note when I say "rich" text I don't specifically mean rich text, I'm refering to text with user defined bold, italic, numbered lists, colors, fonts, etc.)

We have a (new) system where we want a user to enter "rich" text notes into a single column using an editor embedded in our application (much like the editor I'm using for this forum) and have the notes displayed correctly in SSRS reports. We were thinking of storing the notes as HTML but I've just tried it and the report displays the whole HTML string, rather than marking up the text.

We are open to marking up the text using any mechanism, rich text, HTML, Word, etc. just as long as we can see it in the reports.

We also need to consider viewing the same notes via Crystal reports.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Display HTML Codes As HTML And Not Text

I am retrieving a field from SQL and displaying that data on a web page.
The data contains a mixture of text and html codes, like this "<b>test</b>".
But rather than displaying the word test in bold, it is displaying the entire sting as text.
How do I get it to treat the HTML as HTML?

Missing ActiveX Control

I'm trying to use the ActiveX control "Microsoft ADO Data Source" so I can link my datagrid to it. Unfortunately I can't seem to get that component installed into my Visual Studio. When I right-click to add an ActiveX control to my form, it's not in the list.

I'm using Visual C++ 2005. I did a full install, installed service pack, and installed latest MDAC and it's service pack.

What do I need to do to get this ActiveX control?

Report Designer ActiveX Control?

Hi,

Is there an ActiveX control for the Report Designer available so I can just drop it into my program so the user can edit or add reports without buying the Business Intelligence Studio or Visual Studio 2005? I understand I'll have to pay royalties on this but depending on the cost I am open to it.

Thanks

Client Found Response Content Type Of 'text/html; Charset=utf-8', But Expected 'text/xml'.

Hi,

I am getting these errors from Report Manager. It seems that every time after the server has been idling for about 15 minutes, I would get this error message. I can click on other links and I am able to continue to use Report Manager.

Is there a timeout setting to help me resolve this or is this a bug with Report Manager? I just insitalled SP2 on the SQL Server and the Reporting Service.

Displaying Html Formatted Text In Text Object In Visual Studio 2005 Crystal Report

Hello,

I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1

I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.

Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!

So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.

Thanks

Reporting Services :: Report Viewer Web Control Print And Search Functionality Without ActiveX Or Silverlight?

As most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work.  This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE.  Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:

[URL]

However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support.  As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support.  Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.

My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?

SQL Server 2012 :: Converting Query Output To HTML Format

I am working on a code that will convert the query output into a html query output. That is the output of the query will be along with html tags so that we can save it as a html file.

The stored procedure that i have used is downloaded from symantec website and is working fine. Below is the code of that stored procedure.

/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] Script Date: 12/21/2011 09:04:30 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Table2HTML] (
@TABLENAME NVARCHAR(500),
@OUTPUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,

[Code] ....

The code works fine and i am able to get the output with html tags. The problem occurs when i insert stylesheet in the code. I tried to enforce styles using a stylesheet for the table returned in my sql code, so that it will look good. below is the stylesheet code that i inserted between <head> and </head> tags.

<style type="text/css">table.gridtable { font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#333333;border-width:1px; border-color: #666666; border-collapse: collapse; } table.gridtable td {border-width: 1px; padding: 8px; border-style: solid; border-color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff;}</style>

If I run the procedure without the style sheet code, it works fine. but when i run the procedure with style sheet code i am getting the below errors.

Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '</table></body><'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 98
Incorrect syntax near '</table></body><'.

[Code] .....

I checked the code and i am not able to find what is the mistake. I tried changing the quotation mark but it didn't worked.

HTML And Full Text Search

Can I store HTML in a nvarchar, and use "full text search" to get around the tagging? For example, I'd like to store "hello <b>world</b>" and be able to find this with a query seeking "hello world." Can SQL Server 2k5 do this? If yes, what would the syntax look like from Management Studio?

How To Read Text Inside HTML Files

Hi,

I just want to know how to search text/record inside the Html files. I had one column in my database named €˜Path€™ I saved the html file names in this column and the physical files in a folder. Full Text search is enabled on this column. Whenever I try to search it returns nothing.

Just need one small example to know how it works, what functions used to search inside the files and how.

Thanks

Full-Text On HTML Stored In Nvarchar(MAX) Column

What is the best way of using the Full-Text feature on HTML?
I want to only search the text and omit the html tags.

If that involves storing as a different format, can someone tell me the best way of doing that?
I'm very new to sql and especially full-text.

Exclude Html Tags From Full-text Index?

I ran a CONTAINS query for the word "target" in a bunch of index web pages. I came up with lots of matches -- but they were all inside html tags:

<a href="www.foo.com" target = "_blank">lorem ipsum</a>



Is there a good way to exclude tags (and their attributes) from the full-text index?


Thanks!

Transact SQL :: Flat Text File - Separate HTML String

I have a flat text file with lots HTML tags and corresponding values 

For example 
<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>
<Top_Down_Code> Xe345 <Top_Down_Code> 

So, For example I can use the a function 

ALTER function dbo.StripHTML( @text varchar(max) ) returns varchar(max) as
begin
    declare @textXML xml
    declare @result varchar(max)
    set @textXML = REPLACE( @text, '&', '' );

[Code] ...

To which Select dbo.StripHTML('<Near_Side> 5563 </Near_Side>')  Value 

I'll get 5563

However how would you get the values within the tag itself ? E.g. 

Value Name 
5563 Near_side
Xe345      Top_Down_Code

I was thinking along the Charindex but cant seem to get it right.

Full Text Search Indexing HTML - Does The Filter Expect Certain Tags To Be Present As Standard?

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I
have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text
resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language
indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and
store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type
column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index
service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it
applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for
best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column (just plain text, no html).Does the filter used for full text indexing of html expect certain tags to be present as standard? E.g. <html> and <body> tags? At present the data I have stored might look like this (no html or body wrapping tags):Example record 1 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Search for keywords:Example record 2 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Sorry no results were found for your search.etc.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.UPDATE: I have tried wrapping the text in more usual html tags and re-built the full text index but I still never get any rows returned for my query results. Example of content wrapping tried - <HTML><HEAD><META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN"></HEAD><BODY>Test text.</BODY></HTML>I've also tried stripping all html tags from the content and set the Document Type column = .txt but I still get no rows returned?!?
