What is it in the text that you need in html format?

If the string just has to be html encoded, don't do that before you put it in the database. Do that when you read the data and display it in the web page. Use the Server.HtmlEncode method to encode the string.

The problem is when something is underlined or there is a new line in the textbox the asp page should also display this.

What kind of textbox are you using, as it can contain underlined text?

Line breaks are easy. Store the lines in the database separated by Environment.NewLine. When you read the data to display on the web page, replace the Environment.NewLine occurances with the html code for line break, e.g. <br> or <br/>.

I think its a rich textbox so how should i replace the underlined words. i copy them from word into the rich textbox. But i'd like to make an editor like here on the forum but then in c#. The output should be a string off course that i can put in the database.

Then you will get the text in rtf format.

The rtf format is quite different from html, so there is no simple solution like just replacing some tags.

I don't know of any library that can convert rtf to html, but there probably exists something out there. I can't reach any search engines right now so you have to do the searching yourself.

Excel, how to add workbook?

4-Feb-06 21:50

I found a library who does this but its a trail version and i don't want to pay for this. Maybe an explanation how i can replace simple rtf to html. I already found how to replace new lines and spaces but i want to know how to convert underlined words too.

I am using Excel 11.0 object library. In MSDN I've found this example http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/891ydsx9.aspx[^].
Excel opening, but on creating new workbook it fails and on string: 41 returns error:
_Workbook workbook = workbooks.Add(XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorksheet);
, I receive error message
Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))
What does this error mean? I am using Excel 2003
p.s. this example was the best what I've found ... so if someone have some links to working examples please write Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
