It's a client side function. Look at DHTML document.select ion object. You
can get the selected text on the client and communicate it to the server in
a hidden text input.

I've already used the DTE object and have coded the following lines into a
button click event:

' Get an instance of the currently running Visual Studio .NET IDE.
Dim dte As New EnvDTE.DTE
dte =
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.GetAct iveObject("Visu alStudio.DTE")

'Get selected text
Dim objSel As TextSelection = dte.ActiveDocum ent.Selection

lblTest.Text = objSel.Text

however, i am getting the following error:

Exception Details: System.Runtime. InteropServices .COMException: COM object
with CLSID {3C9CFE1E-389F-4118-9FAD-365385190329} is either not valid or not
registered.

on the following line of code:

Dim dte As New EnvDTE.DTE

I hope that you can help me.

Thanx.

You are talking about Visual Studio text editor. Here we discuss ASP.NET and
I thought you were talking about selected text in an html control. You
should ask in a relevant newsgroup.

I am sorry, I used the wrong object in my web application. I'll try to use
the DHTML documet.selecti on object and return to you later.

Thanks for your help.
