Hello

i have some questions reguarding C#.
Sorry for the probably very basic questions but i just started C# and
need some informations to start up in the "right way".

I need to develop some applicaiton in C# which has to deal with some
database-data. The data needs to be modifyed, calculated and printed.

For the printing part i will use crystal reports, as i have to print
out lists and diagrams. The database will be MSAccess. The project will
be developed under VS 2003 or VS 2005, reguarding of your answers

My problem:
I have to develop some component which can display pertty much text, up
to 40-60 pages.
This text should be editable and there should be some possibility to
format the text:
- Bold
- Cursive
- Underline
- Tabs
- Font-selection
- Save/Load/Print possibility

I first thought of using a MSWord template and just add the data there
(the data is 'preformated' so i could use a template). But
unfortunately this is not an option ... The app needs to be completly
independent (of course i'm able to deploy also additional
usercontrols/ocx/dlls).

The data can then be printed via crystal reports or directly from the
component.

Can anyone tell me if there is some control out there that offers such
funtions?
It dose not need to be free, i'm able to spend some money on it.

I'd also like to know if its possible to pass formated text to Crystal
reports.
I could implement my own formating then for the text and use a richbox
control if there would not exist that required control.

_thanks in advance udo

PS: there will for sure be some more questions in the near future
