Displaying HTML content in Reporting Services 2008

what if you want to leave the markup in there.. and there are table tags in that markup.  is there anyway to get the table tags to render?

Hey Grey.  I read with interest your post on the HTML data representation from SQL in SSRS 2008.  I have recently installed SSRS 2008 and don't see the option you mention. i.e. "Create Placeholder..."  I am using the "out of the box" SSRS 2008 install from M/S with Business Intelligence Development Studio as the report designer.  Could you let me know what I am missing?  I'm also interested in Shannon's question on getting the HTML to render as .. well .. HTML!

Thank you MSFT!

Its good to see them incorporate this!

THANK YOU!

this HTML all over my reporting is driving me crazy!

We are using local reports and all reports have been already developed in it. Due to a requirement change we need to include a third party control for rich text and render the HTML content in reports. We are working on .Net framework 2.0.

This worked great, thanks so much!

If I have some picture in my html publishing column, they do not appear in the report even if the "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles" is selected.

Any idea what is wrong?

thanks a lot for this tip. This saved a lot of time.

This works if I choose to develop a report using the BI Template on Visual Studio 2008. But is there anything for developing a report using the Report Viewer control in a web application template?

This works great for the text i display in my textbox.But,How can I remove HTML tags from the tooltip text i display for my textbox?

that was a nice tip,would have been better if we had that option in sql server 2005 as well.

Holy schmolly I was soo lucky to find this on page 1 of google.

Thank you.

Thanks; this helped.

This is what I needed!

Thank you!

I have an interesting situation. We are trying to display the uparrow inside of a textbox. The standard HTML code for an uparrow in html is "↑" . I created a text box and added the ↑ as the value. The problem is SSRS converts this into a string "↑" to display it as is. I don't want it to display this as is. Instead I want it to interpret as special html. I have already played around with the html interpret tag. It doesn't seem to help in this case. If you know a way around this please help me.

This is genius!  Thank you so much!  

I am using this functionality but I also need an image within the html text to appear within the report but it just doesn't appear.  The full path to the image is within the html.  e.g. http://localhost/appname/images/test.jpg

Help appreciated! Thanks

You don't actually need a dataset and a Tablix.

With just a Label and a PlaceHolder inside of it you can achieve the same results, without the need to hit a server nor pass a data set.

Cheers.

Thank you - I had been struggling with this for hours - wish I had stumbled upon this post first!

the html tag underline and background-color cannot work, is there any solution or workaround?

Excellent. Thanx a lot !!!

Hey Greg, really helpfull. 'Interpret HTML tags as styles' is enough to decode the html tags in SSRS, but i think as you said 2008 R2 only supports it
