Hii
I want to make a forum post page in Asp .net and allow users to format their messages like microsoft forums.
So how to create a designer that users can use to format their messages
Thanks a lot
Hi,
you're probably looking for online message editor control... Here's a link to one you can include in your application...

Thanks a lot. i knew it wasnt pretty easy to create my own control but if anyone have a tutorial or a book that explains some basics about it please just give me the name of the book.
Thanks
I've done this myself, made a few forums all in ASP.NET and SQL Server.
I pretty much used my own tags and then replace them with proper encoding/rendering/whatever methods at accessing time.
If you are talking about the reply page where you have Bold, italics, hyperlink etc... and you want it to be of similar nature as RTB (you highlight text and make it bold for example in the editor) then you are asking for alot more, which is difficult but as suggested there maybe a few controls out there you can use.
I believe I've seen a simple(r) implementation in one of Nikhil Kothari's sample code packages (download from here)...

mmm it seems complicated and seems has a lot of error as i have read in the comments, but i downloaded it and i will try
Thanks
I've tried it myself [the editor] and it worked fine. However, there is a lot of other samples included and they may include some errors...
