Custom Assembly Error

I have a SQL Server 2000 database that has a table with a text field whose
contents are in RTF format. My goal is to display this text in SSRS
reports. I have created a custom assembly to convert rtf formated text into
plain text.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class RichTextServices
Public Shared Function ConvertToPlainText(ByVal RTFText As String) As String
Dim m_rtb = New RichTextBox
m_rtb.Rtf = RTFText
Return m_rtb.Text
End Function
End Class
The assembly works great in preview mode. However, when I run the report
from my browser I get an error in the field containing the converted text.
I have copied my DLL to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin".
I have also added the attached code group to the "rssrvpolicy.config" and
"rsmgrpolicy.config" files. It still does not work.
What am I missing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PS - If anyone knows a better way to handle RTF in SSRS that would also be
great to know. Especially if you can actually display the text with the
original formatting.
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="MyCodeGroup"
Description="Code group for my data processing extension">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin\myAssembly.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>Hello Guess,
It seems the issue is caused by RichTextBox which is a com object. I wonder
if you also deploy the interop com assembly to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin
Also, I suggest that you refer to the following article to deploy your
custom assembly in reporting service.
