Saving text highlighted anywhere on web page to a C# string

Hello Everyone!

I saw a few discussions on saving highlighted text in a text box. I am interested in saving text highlighted anywhere on a web page and to save that text as a string in C#. I know C# fairly well, but I'm a newbie with JavaScript and ASP.NET. If anyone knows a simple elegant way to do this I would really appreciate it, but I'll take any solution at this point. Even if you can point me in the right directions that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to The Scripts, Bob.

See this page to get your selection using Javascript. Then store this in a text box or textarea as shown on that page. Then send that form to a page which contains your C#/ASP.NET code. If you need help on that, post in the .NET forum.
