I’m using a simple program that will take tallPDF xml and convert it into a PDF view so you know what your looking at. The problem is I’m limited to how many character I can enter. Is this a problem i can correct in the design view of the form or is the primitive in the code because there is very little code?
AGAIN THIS IS NOT MY CODE. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT!
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// load the XML document template
System.Xml.XmlDocument documentTemplate = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
documentTemplate.LoadXml(txtPDFXML.Text);
// Setup the document
TallComponents.PDF.Layout.Document pdf = new TallComponents.PDF.Layout.Document();
pdf.Read(documentTemplate.DocumentElement);
// Finally write the PDF document
webBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank");
System.IO.FileStream fs = null;
try
{
fs = new System.IO.FileStream(@"Out.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Create);
}
catch
{
fs = new System.IO.FileStream(@"Out2.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Create);
}
pdf.Write(fs, false);
fs.Close();
fs.Dispose();
webBrowser1.Navigate(fs.Name);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
}

I stumbled apon a way to lengthen the characters allowed in this notepad style program. I was going to close the question but META informed me that I should post my answer and accept it so others could use it or add to it, etc. So, after looking around in the code and finding nothing that would help I looked at the UI. This included the notepad style window. I clicked on it and looked at the properties to the right hand side. There is a MaxLength property that was set to 3700 which i set to 9999. This increased the ammount of text I was able to input and solved my problem. Again there may have been other ways to do this but this is what I did and it worked out fine.
