VS 2008 C# WYSIWYG HTML Editor

I’ve been busy at work lately one of the projects assigned to me is to create an application to redact and edit emails that will be sent to customers. This provided a great opportunity for me to get familiar with creating a custom control in C#. I needed a way to create rich content and although C# has the rich text control it provides everything in RTF which is difficult to work with and hard to embed. So I got to work on my very own WYSIWYG control that produces HTML. So I am making it open source and available to anyone have fun and enjoy if you make any cool modifications to it let me know. I would love to include spell check ability but I don’t have much time to work on it right now.

Download Here HTMLWYSIWYG
wysiwyg

Sample Uses

 private void button1_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 //Gets the HTML Code generated by the control
 Console.WriteLine( htmlwysiwyg1.getHTML())
 //Getts the PLain Tex code generated by the control.
 Console.WriteLine(htmlwysiwyg1.getPlainText());
 }
 
 private void frm_main_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 //Sets the control to allow edits
 htmlwysiwyg1.allowEdit(true)
 //Loads the HTML into the control
 htmlwysiwyg1.setHTML("<B>BOLD</B>");
 //Loads aditional fonts into the control
 htmlwysiwyg1.addFont("Cambria");
 }

    I have downloaded your html editor but cannot get it to work. It has and error as below. Do you have any ideas why.

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    at HTMLWYSIWYG.htmlwysiwyg.setHTML(String html) in d:\Projects\CSharp\Third Party\HTMLWYSIWYG\HTMLWYSIWYG\htmlwysiwyg.cs:line 48

    public void setHTML(String html)
    {
    doc.body.innerHTML = html;
    }

    You hve to write your own, but it should be fairly straight forward.

    Alain,
    If you shoot me a sample of the error you are getting I may be able to help. I haven’t looked at this in quite a while but I’ll give it a try.
