Any reporting tool that will display images imbedded within RTF or HTML?
It seems from everything I've found so far that both MS Report Viewer and Crystal Reports don't support any image or table tags contained within RTF or HTML. My problem is I currently have a Winforms RTB which can contain formatted text, images and tables. Reading it back from the database works as desired. However, trying to print what's in that RTB (among other related fields as well) onto a report doesn't. The only potential workaround seems to be converting that RTB to an image. Not sure how well that would work print quality wise or the fact that the RTB could contain several printed pages worth of content (can an image span multiple pages?).
The only practical solution I can think of is parsing out the non-supported tags and creating the RDL needed for the image or table dynamically. Any other alternatives?

The only ones I have found are paid ones, and even then it's only Html. Telerik reporting does it. but it has limitations I think. It's been awhile so maybe there is something else out there. It would be very nice if there was something that did rtf

Yes, the same as Crystal pretty much. I wouldn't have thought this need would be so rare. Looks like either custom coding or just leaving those items out of the actual report since it won't be critical for what the reports are used for. I just don't like having an "incomplete" solution.
