WYSIWYG Editor ASP.NET

Hey all,

I just installed VS2005.
I am wondering if it comes with some sort of WYSIWYG control.
I want to create a website where all the content is editable through
some admin panels.
I had heard that VS2005 has a web control for this, but I can't find
it.
I just need it to render HTML, but for the dumb user, have little bold
and itallics buttons, list points, etc.

I would prefer not to get a 3rd party one if there is a built in one
for ASP.NET in .NET2.0

Many thanks,
Steven Nagy

Steven,
There are a number of open-source, "freeware" WSYWYG HTML Editor controls
for ASP.NET. FreeTextBox is the first one that comes to mind.

Thanks Peter. I guess that means I was misled when I believed there was
one packaged in VS2005.

I have found a few free ones as well, but I'll check the one you
mentioned as well.

You're probably talking about webparts.

I have no idea if that is what I am talking about or not.
I noticed this "webparts" section under tools... I haven't had time to
look into them yet, but would I have been able to use one of those
controls to add WYSIWYG functionality to my web form? The FreeTextBox
one is quite good actually, it looks very professional and is easy to
use. I've implemented it now across the board for this website, but I
would still love to know if there is a way to WYSIWYG in VS2005...

WebParts seem to "add on" to existing controls, am I right?

Hi I'm looking for a wysiwyg XSTL editor, that actually is wysiwyg. So far every product I have tried out seems to have the idea that wysiwyg is just showing the result of an XML - XSL trans-formation. What I'm looking for is an editor that lets me design how I want the result to look, based on a XML file, and automatically generates the XSL needed to obtain the result. Does such a product exist?

Howdy, I'm using a WYSIWYG editor called TinyMCE. When I edit some text and then save it back to my SQL server using a SQLCommand, all HTML characters are changed to HTML code, i.e. &gt;strong&lt; instead of <strong> and so on. Is this a problem with the editor or something else? Does .Net convert it? I had to disable page validate request because of the tags, is there more? Thanks,

Hello, I tried to find a complete powerfull .NET wysiwyg html editor as the editor from www.pintexx.com. There is a version for windows applications but it is a kind of fake because it is web based at the root. I search a kind of DHTML editor control ... totaly dedicated to windows applications (.NET). Somebody knows if it exists somewhere? Thank you in advance,

I need some sage advice. For years I have been using a HTML editor (HomeSite 3) to produce crude web sites, mostly travelogs with text and a few clickable thumbnails leading to larger images. When I get going I usually produce a marginally navigable mess with sub pages and sub-sub pages. Check http://www.davearoundtheworld.org/s_chile/index.html as an example. These crude pages take me a lot of time. I would like to improve my web...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a decent WYSIWYG text area editor to use on one of my sites? The goal is to accomodate users who know zero html and to insert blog-like enties into the database already formatted with html tags. Just thought I'd try this first before I go into WordPress and try to tear out their editor :)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
