Hi,

I have to write an application that generates an rtf file. Some parts of the this file must be bold.

What should I do in order to have a string (using c#) be represented bold in the t file?

Thanks,

You have to learn how the RTF file is organized, and if you do not have a visual editor, then you will need to create the RTF the "low-level" way, therefore directly implementing the formatting.

For some reference, take a look here.

Actually i had already implement one code usig \b \b0 options but it doesnt create any different in my output.

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
			//Add the header.
		   
			builder.Append(@"{\rtf1\fbidis\ansi\ansicpg936\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe2052{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Calibri;}" + "\r\n");
			builder.Append(@"{\f1\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f2\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}" + "\r\n");
			builder.Append(@"{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;}" + "\r\n");
			builder.Append("\r\n");

string header = "Title";

header = string.Format(@"\b {0}\b0", header);

builder.Append(hearder);

richtextbox.rtf = builder.ToString();

yes core have given you a good stuff you must see that.any way you asked how to do it in C# it could be done using Font class
Ok try to understand what I am doing ,First in C# create a windows application then on the form add a richtextbox and add this text from properties window " We are in DreamInCode " then go to the form load event and add this code.

 //Create a Font to set the selected text font
			Font font = new Font("Arial", 8,FontStyle.Bold);
			//Select the text
			richTextBox1.Find("DreamInCode");
			//Set the font
			richTextBox1.SelectionFont = font;
			//Save it in *.rtf format
			richTextBox1.SaveFile("C:\\mytext.rtf");

Hope you will get some idea from this code

Debjit Can you please give me some glims how to add new blank line in rich text box ?

[debjit625]

In MSDN you will find every thing about RichTextBox.And for adding a new line use special characters in a string by using escape sequences,like "\n" for newline

richTextBox1.Text = "In DreamInCode\n";
richTextBox1.Text += "\n";//Adding a new blank line 
richTextBox1.Text += "Hope you got it";//Adding a new text

Good luck
