How to add tables to a RichTextBox control in .NET 2.0 programmatically?
Does anyone know how to to add tables to a RichTextBox programmatically?
I have a DataTable that could have around 10,000 rows in it. My goal is to print 6 rows (records) per
page in 6-Up fashion. I am using the RichTextBox, because i have to perform conditional formatting
(making key words Bold). I'm hoping to layout a Table that has 2 columns and 3 rows per page,
so it would look like this:
' Position 1 | Position 2
' --------------------------
' Position 3 | Position 4
' --------------------------
' Position 5 | Position 6
Thanks for your help!

Sancler, thank you very much for you help. You definitely contributed! However, TheLearnedOne
completely went the extra mile with posting the code that helped, so thank you TheLearedOne.
I did not end up using the RtfTableColumn, RtfTableRow, or RtfTableCell classes, but I created a new
RtfTable class that had the InsertTable sub that took a DataTable as a parameter, which I used
to build the table.
One note, I added code that made the border White so it could not be seen, because it seemed to print
no matter what I did. That code was the first line of code, and it was:
"{\colortbl ;\red255\green255\blue255;
Thank you both again!

I think the user control approach could work, if I were only displaying it on a Form, but I'm actually
going to send it to a printer, so I need it all laid out and formatted in 1 document.
I'm heading home for the night, so I'll have to get back with you and let you know how it turns out.
Thanks for your help!
