Devhead,
Well, technically, the text is readable. However, you aren't going to
be able to display it in a textbox, because all of the markup is going to
get in the way. You should probably use the web browser control (which you
can add through the ActiveX tab when you add new items to the toolbox) and
then feed the string into that, and it should display correctly.
Hope this helps.

i have a blob field in an sql server column field that stores html text.
how do i convert it so that it is readable in a text control. right now
when i convert using:
byte [] byteBlob = (byte[]) TMSFinding.Rows[0]["DetailedDescription"];
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding enc = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
txtbxDetailedDescription.Text = enc.GetString(byteBlob);
right now it returns the text with the html tag info(<HTML>, <DIV>, etc.)
