Actually, i was a painless decision. I only required the features in the standard version which I purchased at www.programmersparadise.com. for $350

The title of the thread is kind of misleading - for the app I'm building I need to have functionality to create and store rich text formatted templates (saved as either RTF or HTML format - with embedded tags for mail merge functionality) in a SQL Server database. (i.e. not just to convert HTML to rich text)

This control gives me that right out of the box - as well as printing functionality. It's a control I'll definately use in any future projects where rich text formatting is required - I'm happy with it.
