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

Apr 29, 2008

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

SQL Reorting Services And Formatted Text

May 9, 2006

I have some textual data that comes preformatted with some extra spaces and line feeds. I am attempting to put it in a Report using SSRS 2005.

When ever I view the report in HTML Mode all of the extra whitespace is suppressed into a single space. However when I export to PDF or Word it all comes back. I have tried using the .Replace() method to put in &nbsp; and <BR> tags into my code, but then it just displays the extra text and doesn't display it as HTML.

Is there anyway either replace the items with the appropriate HTML, or add the "PRE" whitespace CSS attribute to a Textbox so that the text displays the same in HTML and in a PDF?

Thanks.

Multi-formatted Text In A Single Texbox

Apr 24, 2007

The latest similar question is almost a year old and hasn't been definitively answered. I'm designing a certificate type report where the declaration text uses static and dynamic text generated in an expression for the textbox. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be an obvious way of formating sections of the text expression with different font sizes, weights and attributes to depict the effect desired. E.g. I want one textbox to say:



This Certifies that {a field value} was blah blah blah by {another field value} etc.



Can this be done in a regular textbox? If not, are there any work-arounds to accomplish the same effect. BTW, I'm working in RS 2005 flavor with VS 2005 Report Designer.



Thanks in advance for your help.

Reporting Services :: Number In Cell Formatted As Text Or Precedence By Apostrophe

Oct 26, 2015

on this report, am having ids separated by '^'.when I export to excel, I wrote the expression as

=Replace(Fields!Id.Value,"^",Environment.NewLine)

It is working fine, but the problem is if I have only one id in some scenario, then this case that cell is showing an error "The Number in this cell formatted as text or precedence by apostrophe" .But in other scenario,If the ids are separated by "^", then this case that cell wont show any error. So I need to display the cell wont have any error symbol  if I have only one id .How can I achieve this?.

Writing Text Data

Mar 30, 2000

Hello, historically it has been frowned upon to store textual data in sqlserver. In v6.5 and before, 2k pages were allocated regardless of actual data size. Is this still the case in v7.0? I have a situation where the intranet application wants to store documents/images/etc. Currently, we need to have security granted to each user who connects to the web server to allow them to write files. However, if we write the data via sqlserver, then the application only needs permission. Is this the recommended method? What other options can I use? tia, Lee

I can create a package that loop through each file in FOR each Loop task but dont know how to write in file using .net

Writing Text To A Flat File

Jul 11, 2007

I have a Foreach loop which scans a table, and gets names of a bunch of procedures, and then back in the foreach loop, they get executed. Im trying to figure out how I can create a sort of log file to say the name of the procedure that is getting executed currently and the current date time stamp onto a flat file. I havent been able to figure this out yet..anyone know how to do this? I grab the names of the storedprocedures from the table and store it in a variable and use the name from the variable to actually execute the stored procedure.

I guess in essence, the question is how do i directly write lines of 'text' (from say a variable) into a flat file.

Writing To Text File From Stored Procedure

Sep 26, 2013

Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."

1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ?
2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?

Text Box In ASP Page Truncates Field Value When Writing Rst

Oct 4, 2005

Alex writes "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Version - SQL server 2000
SQL Enterprise Mgr Version 8.0

I am currently developing a backend SQL db for an ASP website. I am only learning, so quite new to it all & would appreciate some help with the following;

I currently have a form that updates a recordset in my SQL db. This is working fine, except for the fact that when the form loads and the db tries to write the field value into my text box, e.g. Address: 20 Harbour Drive, the field value is truncated at the space and it writes the address as 20 in the text box.

When I view the detail page, no problems, the recordset was updated, but when I go back to the update page, the record values are truncated again as though the ASP page thinks the space is some kind of delimiter?

The size property of my textbox element is the same as the varchar datatype size in the SQL table.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

Writing A DTXS Package To Extract 50 Tables To 50 Text Files?

Nov 26, 2007

Is there a quick way to extract a full dump of 50 tables to 50 corresponding text files?


i.e.

table_a has to be extracted to table_a.txt

table_b has to be extracted to table_b.txt

table_c has to be extracted to table_c.txt
etc.

I don't want to have to add each one separately by hand in the DTSX package designer.
I can't see any way to do it in a loop (because you have to do the field mapping).
I can't seem to get the DTS Wizard to help - it only seems to be able to handle one table-to-text extract at any one time.
And I've tried editing the DTXS file directly (in XML) but it looks like it's going to be rather complex, even if I only do it to define the connection managers.
Feel free to suggest any better way to do this, though the specification has already been agreed, so I'm unlikely to be able to change it.
Thanks

Problem Writing To Fixed Width Text File Destination

Oct 30, 2006

I am trying to export data from a query in SQL Server 2005 SSIS to a flat file destination. Everything works fine except the rows returned from my query are written to the flat file in one long string (i.e., without line breaks). I have tried appending a new line character to the rows returned from the query but that only throws an error when the package is executed. My rows returned from the query are 133 characters wide (essentially only one column per row) so I have set the properties accordingly for a fixed width file format with 133 character wide rows.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Michael

Expected Formatted Results??

Feb 17, 2005

Hi All,
I am kindly seeking for help.
I have a table(MyTable) which is defined as (date datetime, ID char (10), and R, P,M,D&Y are all float) and the layout is as following:
Date ID R P M D... Y
1/1/90 A 1 2 3 4... 5
1/2/90 A 2 3 4 5... 1
...
2/11/05 A 3 4 5 6... 2
1/1/90 B 1 2 3 4... 5
1/2/90 B 2 3 4 5... 1
...
2/11/05 B 3 4 5 6... 2
...
The expected query results look like: ( this results from Date, ID and R fields)
Date A B
1/1/90 1 1
1/2/90 2 2
...
2/11/05 3 3

The SQL I wrote:
select date, ID,
A=sum(case when ID=A then R else 0 end),
B=sum(case when id=B then R else 0 end)
from MyTable
Group by date

I would also like to get another set of results with the same format but from date,ID and P fields:
Date A B
1/1/90 2 2
1/2/90 3 3
...
2/11/05 4 4

select date, ID,
A=sum(case when ID=A then P else 0 end),
B=sum(case when id=B then P else 0 end)
from MyTable
Group by date

The problem with that is if I have thousands of ID in MyTable I have to "hard code" thousands times and the same problem with the fields/columns. Is there any easier way to do this?
I also would like to insert the results into a table/view which will be refreshed whenever MyTable gets updated.

Any suggestion/comments are highly appreciated!

Import Formatted Word Doc

Dec 28, 2011

I have 265 word documents which I use with mail merge to create a master document.We are going to auto generate this master document going forward so I want to store these 265 word documents, these range in size from 10kb to 50kb. As I mentioned these are formatted and also contain a merge field/marker so what I will be doing is using a value in the database, my application will take the document which is stored as a string/blob and will replace the "merge field" with the value from the database.

I can write an application to import each of these documents but I am not sure whats the best way to store them in order to be able to find and replace the merge marker.Also I will be joining a number of these together to make the master document. So for example I take 10 of these and I replace the marker fields in these with the values from the database, I will then push that string out to a PDF/Word document for printing.

.Net Passing Bad Formatted Value To Stored Procedure

Jan 12, 2006

Hi, that's the problem:
I have a GridView, bound to a SQLDataSource, with an stored procedure as a Select query.  The Select Parameters are bound to controls in the web form, acting like some filter fields.
When I submit the page, everythings works fine, except when I try to set some value in the DateTime fields.  .Net is enclosing the date with extra single quotes, as I could see in the Profiler:
exec sel_despesa_procura @codigo=NULL,@fornecedor=NULL,@descricao=NULL,@vencto_ini=''2005-10-10 00:00:00:000'',@vencto_fim=''2005-10-20 00:00:00:000'',@pagto_ini=NULL,@pagto_fim=NULL,@valor=NULL,@valor_pago=NULL,@centro_custo=NULL,@pago=N'0,1'
The fields are defined as follows:
<SelectParameters>...<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtFiltroVencIni" Name="vencto_ini" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" /><asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtFiltroVencFim" Name="vencto_fim" PropertyName="Text" Type="DateTime" />...</SelectParameters>
The stored procedure doesn't even execute, due to the bad formatted arguments.  It returns the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1Incorrect syntax near '2005'.
I'm going to change the parameter type to varchar, as a workaround, but I'd like to solve this problem.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Anderson

Storing Large Formatted Documents

Jun 8, 2006

I am developing a resume storage system, and don't know the best way to store the resumes that come in to our company in both MS Word and text files. Should I store the files in the original format they come in, and reference the file name in the databse that points to a directory where they are stored, or should I store the text of the resumes directy in the database. There are 2 things that I must follow.

1: I need to have the documents keep their formatting.
2: I also need the capibility of conducting a full text search to pull out key words from the documents.

What is the best way?

Using OSQL For Query Output (csv Formatted)

Jun 12, 2006

esults.csv" -h-1 -s ","This works off a table with only two columns. I'm still left with a lot of extra spaces between the first column output and second column output, and at the bottom the text "(50 rows affected)".So instead of this:data1a (lots of spaces here) ,data1bdata2a (lots of spaces here) ,data2bdata3a (lots of spaces here) ,data3b(50 rows affected)I want to see this:data1a,data1bdata2a,data2bdata3a,data3bThanks very much for any help. :)
