Character Limit in HTML Tables

[cowdogman]

Hi:

For purpose of speed in loading a large table into a TextControl, I'm preparing a code generated HTML table which I then load into a TextControl. Works great and it's fast but I notice that if the text characters in a table cell are greater than some number (I haven't counted but I'm guessing around 300 or 400 characters), I get the error quoted below. The error occurs at the following line of code where I load the completed table:

TextControl1.Load(strTable, TXTextControl.StringStreamType.HTMLFormat)

"strTable" is a string with the HTML for the table.

As I said, works great except when the text in a cell is "too long."

Is there some character/cell height limit (expanding the width of the TextControl didn't help)? What else could it be? Is there a LoadSetting I need to set?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm using Version 13 of TextControl.net in VS 2005.

In working on this issue some more, I've come to the conclusion that the problem is the size of the table, not the size of any cell. I've seen various posts in the forum regarding errors when loading large html tables. Is there a solution to this problem other than breaking the large table into a series of smaller tables?

Thanks.

Hi Brad,

Yes, tables do have a character limit and we recommend not to span tables over more than 2 pages. The exact limit depends on various factors, e.g. formatting, images, etc., thus it is no possible to give you a number.

Another solution apart from using more than one table is not available, sorry.
