html encode for datagridview

[leone]

Hi, i need a solution for my datagridview to recognise html codes. It is a winform datagridview, not an asp one.

You're going to have to provide a bit more detail than that to get any kind of a useful answer. What do you mean by "recognize HTML code"??

For example this text is bold I want the text above to be seen as bold in my datagridview. Now it is seen as i typed.

Html tags are not being interpreted by datagridview. And tags appear in the datagridview.

still now its not clear to me perfectly. Can you tell your requirement little bit more elaborately?

[Dave Kreskowiak]

Of course not, it's not an HTML control and doesn't understand HTML at all. Frankly, you'd have to build your own HTML rendering engine to get the DGV to support HTML tags. NOT EASY! Why do you want to do this? What's are the requirements driving this?

ok. the problem is that i stored some strings in html format just because i intended to use them only sending via mails. But now i need to use them in winform datagridview. If there is no solution, i will code my own html parser.

ok. the problem is that i have some data in my db. But they are in html format. So what control do you advise to show them in winform applications.(data depends on sql query.)

[Dave Kreskowiak]

The only control that will render HTML is the WebBrowser control. You'll, of course, have to generate an HTML page with the data in it for the WebBrowser to render.

But in windows you cannot render html code. So you have to convert that code into a simple string to show the data in windows.
