Reporting services and VBCrlf

Question

Hi,I have a textbox in the report that contains the VBCrlf for carrige return(enter) in the textbox.

When i watch the report in the prieview  tab in the VS.NET every thing is o.k.

When i deploy the report and watch it in the report manager the VBCrlf has no effect.

The html source shows the enter but without the <br> as it should be.

I tried to inject <br> string to the textbox but the htmlencoding shows lt;btgt;

Any ideas?

 

Answer 1

Are you running the latest patches on SSRS?  I know there were some rendering issues with the initial release.  Does it work when you render to PDF?

You cannot inject HTML into a report, it will be url encoded and will not render.
