    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?
