Poor image quality when displaying OLE Word doc stored in BLOB

255 Views

Hello,

I am migrating some CR Reports from VB6 to VB.NET 2008.

The reports retrieves Word documents that is stored in BLOB column on SQL Server 2005.

If CR.NET (same behaviour with 2005 and 2008 versions) renders the word document, the quality is really bad. Looks like an ugly moire effect. The characters below 8pt font size are hardly readable. I have already set the option "use full color-depth" in the report options.

If the same word doc is rendered with CR that's included in VB6, it shows a clear and sharp output - the same as displayed in word.

Where is the difference in handling Word OLE between those two CR versions?

Is there anything I can do to improve the quality with CR.NET?

Regards,

Stefan
