Display html from database in richtextbox Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngrichtextbox' list. L.Illya.Haynes@WellsFargo.COM Hi, I've been running into a wall on this one. Should be a very easy answer, I'm just too new at this, I guess. Using VB, I'm able to put the information entered into the richtextbox into an access database as html, and I can later retrieve that data (as html) from the database. Problem is, I am unable to display that information back into the richtextbox editor for someone else to manipulate. I would want it to show up in the text area as the formatted text, and not as html code. I tried myRTB.Textxhtml = mydatabaseinfo, but get an error message that Textxhtml is readonly. This seems like a very fundamental function of richtextbox, but I have been unsuccessful in my searching for an answer on this one. Any help appreciated! illya Reply to this message...        Ollie Cornes Hi Illya, To set the value of the RichTextBox document, use the Text property. The TextXhtml and TextPlain properties are additional ones that mean you can get at the data in the document but with some processing applied - this is why they are read-only. Does that answer your question?
