RichImageField HTML-Encoded in Display Mode

I had the same problem but found inspiration to a solution in Stefan Go?ner’s blog http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gossner/archive/2007/03/29/how-to-overcome-glitches-with-the-standard-field-controls-shipped-with-moss-2007.aspx

In his blog he overrides the RenderFieldForDisplay function of the standard RichImageField webpart, so I grabbed his code, changed it a bit and now my Image is showing in display mode. Here is the result:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using System.IO;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Security.Permissions;

using System.Xml.Serialization;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

using Microsoft.SharePoint;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;

namespace YourNamespace.WebParts.Controls

{

[Guid("50abd899-9a7f-4c54-81f8-e6bcc5fa70cc"),

AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand,

Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal),

AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand,

Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

public class CustomRichImageField : RichImageField

{

protected override void RenderFieldForDisplay(HtmlTextWriter output)

{

// create a new tempWriter to consume the output from the base class

TextWriter tempWriter = new StringWriter();

base.RenderFieldForDisplay(new HtmlTextWriter(tempWriter));

// capture the output of the base class and do the required adjustments

//string newHtml = tempWriter.ToString().Replace(">", "/ >");

string newHtml = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(tempWriter.ToString()); // This did the job!!

// write out the corrected html

output.Write(newHtml);

}

}

}
