ASP.NET MVC Apps: Enable Rich Text Editor in Web Report Designer

  • Dec 04, 2024

The XRRichText control can display text with rich formatting in your report. You can specify content directly in the control, load text from an RTF/HTML file, or bind the control to a data field.

You can activate an inline Rich Text Editor and allow users to format and edit content in the Web Report Designer:

Note

The inline Rich Text Editor does not support Right-To-Left mode. For more information on limitations, refer to the following help topic: Rich Text Editor Unsupported Features.

Check the Enable Rich Text Editor option when you create a new ASP.NET MVC reporting application with a Web Report Designer.

In Code

Register the Rich Text Editor’s style sheets and scripts in the _Layout.cshtml file.

cshtml
@Html.DevExpress().GetStyleSheets(
    new StyleSheet { ExtensionType = ExtensionType.ReportDesigner }
    new StyleSheet { ExtensionSuite = ExtensionSuite.ClientRichEdit }
)
@Html.DevExpress().GetScripts(
    new Script { ExtensionType = ExtensionType.ReportDesigner }
    new Script { ExtensionSuite = ExtensionSuite.ClientRichEdit }
)

If you integrate the Report Designer manually (not using a DevExpress template), make sure that the jszip.min.js 3.7.1 and dx.richedit.js libraries are included. These libraries are required to edit formatted text in the XRRichText control.
