RDLC Report TextBox Properties for Decimal Display - report

I was wondering if it was possible to do this type of display in RDLC report ? The decimal numbers after the colon display in the sample image below ? Is there any sort of properties for that ? Thanks

you have to Options:
Have two fields in your dataset, one is the 999 part and the other is the ,99 bit. Use two placeholders in the textbox and format the second one to superscript
Create the number as html (text) in your NAV code like this: 999,<sup>99</sup> and tick "HTML - Interpret html tags as styles" in Textbox Properties -> General - Markup type.
Example : 999,99
Cheers!

How can I change the background colour of a specific range of text within a text field? What type of text field can I use within my Web App?

I have a c#.net web app which has multiple asp:textbox fields. I want to be able to change the background colour or text colour of the text within this boxes but only a specific range so for example the first 200 characters are to be red, the remaining characters should be green.
I am aware you can't control the content of a asp:textbox field but I am using ASPNetSpell to perform inline spell checking on all boxes and this renders the field as a asp:textbox.
Does anyone have any idea how I can achieve this functionality: ability to format partial content within a field and apply a spell checker? I am open to any suggestions.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

It looks like the ASPNetSpell textbox is rendered as a div so you should be able to format the text using jQuery. Here is a way you can do this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#aspnetspellbutton").bind("click", function(eventData) {
var textfrominputelement = $("#yourinputelementid").text().substr(0, 200);
textfrominputelement.fontcolor("Red");
});
});
Basically, your binding the aspnetspellbutton click event to the jQuery function and then assigning the first 200 characters of text from the aspnetspell textbox and then changing the color of that text to Red.
This is a terse example. Depending on your requirements it could be a little more complicated. Script Junkie is a great resource for jQuery if your new to it.
You need something like a RichTextBox control. Check this out as well, those could be your solution. Good luck!

How to trim html tags from text in asp.net grid view?

I have used asp.net ajax html editor and i saved data in database. But now i want to retrieve it and show it in grid view. But when i retrieve that, it also shows those html tags (generated by asp.net ajax editor). So, i want to trim those tags and show plain text in grid view. How do i do that?
Thanks
Go to you db and look, how it is saved. Maybe it is save encoded. If it is not the case, you can use some simple regex to remove all those tags.
<[^<]+?>
This shows you just plain text and removes all Tags
To stripe the html tags from text you can utilize the
RegEx.Replace("str","Pattern","replacementstring "); method which there exist in
System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace
for example
Plain_Body = Regex.Replace(txtBody.Text, #"<[^>]*>", string.Empty);
here i am replacing the html specific characters with String.Empty or "" you can add additional characters if you wish to pattern like #"<[^>]*>" and spaces(&nbsp) and Ampersand(&amp) etc

style a textbox into the following format?

I have a field called WATER METER READING(Right now its a textbox to take 6 numbers) on my HTml page, but I need to change its format to display as [][][][][][] (6 separate small (single digit forms)).... all 6 fields required and all need to be a number.
finally it should look like this.
Water Meter Reading:* [][][][][][]
Any suggestions how to display the values like this.
If I understand your question correctly it seems to me you want 6 separate fields, WATER_METER_READING_1 through WATER_METER_READING_6 and you can combine them into one field WATER_METER_READING when the form is submitted to the server. Consequently to load the data into the 6 fields if you need to edit the form you can just split the field WATER_METER_READING on the server side into the appropriate field.
Are you asking for regex validation? Try [\d][\d][\d][\d][\d][\d]
Could you make 6 very narrow textboxes.
Add validation controls to make them required fields.
In code-behind, read the values from the textboxes, and concatenate them into a single string.
You can have multiple span tags and set the background image of those span to the box look you want.
e.g. <span>0</span><span>9</span><span>5</span><span>7</span><span>8</span>
in css set the background image for this spans to your like.

How can I add a registered trademark symbol (R) to an asp:RadioButton control declaritively?

I want to show a registered trademark symbol (i.e. an 'R' in a circle) in a label on a web page. But I want to add it in the design view markup not in the code-behind file.
Is there an equivalent of &copy?
EDIT: Any idea how I use this when defining a radio button as it doesn't work when applied to the Text property of an asp:RadioButton control?

How do I customize the print layout of a SharePoint list item?

i need to be able to produce a "pretty" printout of an individual list item's values, with the goals being:
get rid of all navigation
organize data as it would appear on a typical paper form (a customer requirement)
i'm avoiding using InfoPath at this time due to other issues (which i'll post separate questions for...)
for example, i have an individual list item that normally displays similar to the following DispForm.aspx example:
i need a printed version (PrintForm.aspx??) that will display similar to the following example:
from what i can tell, i can't do this just by modifying/creating custom CSS.
it also seems that i can't quite do this just by creating my own "print" version of DispForm.aspx.
any suggestions, ideas, links would be very helpful.
Creating a custom list form is probably what you want. Without the master page attached to it or anything.
You can find a walkthrough here that will get you started:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101191111033.aspx
Enjoy.
You could use CSS to hide all the navigation etc. that you don't need using a media="print" stylesheet, but you won't be able to make the exact changes to the layout you've illustrated.
If it doesn't have to be exactly like the example, it would be fairly trivial to hide all but the name->value table and just print that. If you really do need to merge fields and re-layout the table then you likely have to hack up the server-side.
Why can't you create your own version of the page?
Using Sharepoint Designer, you could create a custom aspx page that uses a dataview webpart to do this...
#mortenbpost's link was just what i needed:
Create a new page that contains a custom list form
specifically, here's what you need to do to get a "basic" custom page for a list item -- from which you can completely customize it with XHTML/CSS:
first
ensure your list has all the columns you'll need
second
here's how to create a custom "view" page (virtually the same steps can be followed for a custom "new" or custom "edit" page):
Open MS Office SharePoint Designer
File -> Open Site...
enter your web-site URL
Make sure the "Folder List" Task Pane is visible (Task Panes -> Folder List)
Expand the "Lists" folder
You should see entries like the following:
Announcements
Calendar
...
YOUR LIST NAME
...
Expand the entry with YOUR LIST NAME
You should see entries like the following
Attachments
Items
AllItems.aspx
DispForm.aspx
EditForm.aspx
NewForm.aspx
Right-Click on YOUR LIST NAME
Select New -> ASPX
Re-name the file to something meaningful, like: PrintForm.aspx
Open PrintForm.aspx
View in "Split" mode
In the Code pane, you should see your insert-point inside a blank html form
Insert -> SharePoint Controls -> Custom List Form...
Select YOUR LIST NAME from the first drop-down (List or document library to use for form)
Select "Item" from the second drop-down (Content type to use for form)
Select "Display item form (used to view list items)" (this is where you choose between view, new, edit)
Un-check "Show standard toolbar" when creating a printable form
Click OK
In the Design pane, you should see a basic table layout with labels on the left and values on the right
In the Code pane, you should see such code as the following for every Column in your list (this one's for a "Single line of text" column type):
<tr>
<td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel">
<H3 class="ms-standardheader">
<nobr>Column name</nobr>
</H3>
</td>
<td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody">
<xsl:value-of select="#Column_x0020_name"/>
</td>
</tr>
You can now just take all those <xsl:value-of select="#Column_x0020_name"/> entries and do standard XHTML/CSS layout
To test, save your work
Then, in a web browser, navigate to your SharePoint web-site
Select an item you've already entered data for
Choose "View Item"
In the address bar, replace DispForm.aspx with PrintForm.aspx
some things to keep in mind:
spaces and punctuation characters make for annoying naming of Column name
Column name in the code will have a maximum length of 32 -- any names longer will be truncated, e.g.:
SharePoint Column name: this is a long name
becomes in the code: this_x0020_is_x0020_a_x0020_long
any Column name in the code that would be a duplicate will be length 32 plus a numeric suffix. so, given the above column also exists, we would then have e.g.:
SharePoint Column name: this is a long name also
becomes in the code: this_x0020_is_x0020_a_x0020_long0
if you add columns or modify columns, you'll have to add them in by hand to this page
(do the Insert -> SharePoint Controls -> Custom List Form... on another "dummy" page to get the naming right)
again, i couldn't have done this without #mortenbpost's answer!
*****You can now just take all those entries and do standard XHTML/CSS layout *****
can you expand this with an example on how to do it?
This isn't an answer so much as a note to the above.
Use a custom list form but keep in mind that if any of the columns have versioning turned on you will not be able to get at the "data" easily. For example if one of your colums is a Notes column and everytime someone edits the notes field a new version is appended then none of that is accessible as it's essentially a seperate "list." I'm stuck on this issue as I also have a client asking for a print out which "doesn't look like it's from SharePoint."
Alternatively, you could export to a spreadsheet & print from there.
