I am using RTF to format a cell.

It works fine on my dev machine. But once I install it via Install Shield and run, it shows up blank, even on the same machine.

Any suggestions? Maybe a license file is missing?

I thought at first it was because I had specified a particular font (Microsoft Sans Serif) so I took that out, but still, all I get is blank. I know the item is there in the row, because I have code the counts the rows, and the rows do exist. Just the RTF text is empty.

Does your installation include the Infralution.RichText dll? If this is not in the same directory as the Infralution.Controls, Infralution.Common and Infralution.Controls.VirtualTree assemblies then the Rich Text may not display correctly.

I assume your InstallShield version is a release version of your app - are you sure that the release version is working correctly?

OK, thanks for the tips. Yes, it was working in the release version, just not in the installed version and it must be that the dll was missing.

I also found the trick of taking the programmatically created rtf and pasting it into a textfile and opening it with Wordpad to see the RTF. I can then tweak it from there.

Turns out the issue was with the obfuscation. Somehow the rtf code was being messed up so it would show blank.

The object binding mechanism uses reflection to bind to properties of you data objects - this can get messed up by obfuscation. Generally obfuscators allow you to turn off obfuscation for specific classes or properties. Another way around this is to use programmatic binding.
