Is there a microsoft control?

[Guest]

Hi

I am looking at the controls offered with .NET (vb,net ) and wondering
within all these controls if there was one that can help do a job.

What I need an easy way for my internal customers to maintain their
commentary and or news in our database (that will get put out on the web).

I was thinking that the best way to handle this is to just store thier work
as html in a field in my db,

I need a simple .NET WYSIWYG editor that my customer can use and that will
spit out HTML.

Is there a MS control or do I need to go 3rd party?

What about Microsoft Office? You can control Office from .Net managed code
using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system. Hopefully that
would work?

Honestly, a blog application sounds like it might be a good fit here. There
are a lot available, most are open source.

I need a simple .NET WYSIWYG editor that my customer can use and that will
spit out HTML.

Right-click the toolbox -> "Add/Remove Elements..." ->
"COM Controls" -> "DHTML Edit Control for IE5".

BrianDH,

In my opinion is the easiest control to do what you want, the HTML TextArea

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...p/author/dhtml/reference/objects/textarea.asp

I hope this helps,

'textarea' is an HTML element which represents a textbox. I doubt that this
is what the OP wants.

Herfried,

I did not use it as a serverside control, so I am not sure how to handle it.
However you are right,

A combobox and a simple aspx textbox is much easier for the purpose as
described.

I don't know why I did not write this direct.

I don't see how this can act as a WYSIWYG HTML editor...

I have read Wysiwyg editor that can used to spit text in a HTML browser.

Everything in a textbook (not book) can be displayed as you see it in that
on the Net.

It is of course not a very sophisticated word editor, it is just a text
editor.

This would be the easiest way

Right-click the toolbox -> "Add/Remove Elements..." ->
"COM Controls" -> "DHTML Edit Control for IE5".
