Rich Text Control can store RTF but not Print or be used in SSRS reports #1

The Rich Text control is proving to be an issue. I can get it to save and retrieve data from the database. But the print controls in Visual Studio don't have a way to render RTF without parsing and building out everything line by line.

SSRS can format/handle HTML. RTF text is not supported. WinForms does not have a editor for HTML. There is refences to a WebBrowser control but it is missing in the toolbar. I believe the documents regarding the control are out of date and do not apply to the current framework.

Also looking for ways to Convert the RTF data into HTML and back. Currently, that looks to be a difficult and involved process.

Found a RFT to HTML translator (3rd party). It does not go back. I also found a way to put a web browser control on a winform. At least I can put a preview and can use translator.
