AppenHTML method on DocIO

[Administrator]

Hi,

I am checking Sync fusion Essential studio V7.2.0.20 DocIO with C# ASP.NET.

When I try to insert HTML using AppendHTML method, its showing issues with double quotes.

When we try to pass the sample HTML code

TEST123

from C# environment, the HTML string will be converted to

TEST123

and the Syncfusion DLL is throwing error. If we avoid the align completly and pass the HTML string as

TEST123

, its working fine.

Is there any alternative or other methods so that we can pass HTML content (having double quotes) as string from C# environment.

Thanks in advance,

[Bhuvaneswari P]

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I am afraid that I am unable to reproduce the issue. Its working when we insert the p tag with align attribute. Could you please provide your Essential Studio version and html file to reproduce the issue in our end. This would be helpful for us to investigate the issue further.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
Bhuvana

Hi Bhuvana,

Thank you for the reply.

I am not inserting HTML file to the document. Rather I am creating the HTML content within C# environment and passing that content to the document. Please see the code below.

Versions : ASP.NET 2.0 (C#)
Sync fusion Version=7.202.0.20

Code:

dataPath = "C:\\Projects\\SyncFusion\\OleTemplate.doc";
//Open an existing word document
WordDocument oleSource;
string str1 = Path.Combine(dataPath, "OleTemplate.doc").ToString();
//oleSource = new WordDocument(Path.Combine(dataPath, "OleTemplate.doc"));
oleSource = new WordDocument(dataPath);
WordDocument dest = new WordDocument();
dest.EnsureMinimal();
// Get OLE object from source document
WOleObject oleObject = oleSource.LastParagraph.Items[0] as WOleObject;

dest.LastParagraph.AppendText("Test Data");
dest.LastParagraph.ApplyStyle(BuiltinStyle.Heading2);
dest.Sections[0].AddParagraph();

str1 = "

str1 = str1 + "left";
str1 = str1 + @"""";
str1 = str1 + ">Test123

";

dest.LastParagraph.AppendHTML(str1);

And this throws an error.

If we keep the string as below, and it works perfectly.

str1 = "

TEST123

";
dest.LastParagraph.AppendHTML(str1);

Hi Anujith,

Thanks for the code snippet.

I am able to reproduce the issue when using your code snippet. DocIO supports only formatted HTML file. You can validate the given HTML files using XHTML parser by using the below web page. This validator parse only the formatted HTML files, if not it reports the error.

http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input

If you want to avoid the parser issue in HTML, set the XHTMLValidateOption as None.

document.XHTMLValidateOption = XHTMLValidationType.None;

Also please refer the below modified code snippet to run in None validation type.
dest.XHTMLValidateOption = XHTMLValidationType.None;
string str1 = "

str1 = str1 + "left";
str1 = str1 + @"""";
str1 = str1 + ">Test123";
str1 = str1 + "

"; //Please close the p tag

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
Bhuvana

Except as already addressed in your answers to the questions above, are there other factors relating to engagement quality (either positive or negative) that you consider should be taken into account in assessing the overall engagement performance?

Hi Steltenpool,

Thank you for the code snippet.

Currently we are supporting only XHTML 1.0 version.Only objects as defined in XHTML 1.0 version will be supported by us. In future we will enhance it to support latest versions.

Please let us know if you have any queries.

the above mentioned html-code parses completely in xhtml 1.0 strict. After first stripping out the doctype statement the paragraph.appendhtml() complains about html being there.. etc so i stripped it down to paragraphs and tables. When i am done with that it still gives strange errors. "html contains not welformatted table" - p has incorrect "child elements"- I see i am using syncfusion version 0.671 has it been improved since?
