Rich Text Editor and Infragistics

[wallaceoc80]

Does anybody here use Infragistics? If so do you know does Infragistics provide a Rich Text Editor component that offers stuff like bold, italics, etc...

Any ideas would be appreciated,

Wallace

I'm not too sure about Infragistics offering a textbox (why not visit their site?).

We have been using the richtextbox control (

http://richtextbox.com/)

and it's been awesome.

FreeTextBox is as good as RichTextBox and it's free.

I used to charge clients for RichTextBox when they needed one, until I found this one.

Thanks for the tip link9!

Only thing is when I tried to use it I got the following error:

Parser Error Message: File or assembly name FreeTextBox, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Source Error: 

Line 7:  <%@ Register TagPrefix="FTB" Namespace="FreeTextBoxControls" Assembly="FreeTextBox" %>

Any ideas what is causing it?

Cheers,

Wallace

Following on form my last post I should have said that I ran the .exe file downloaded from the FreeTextBox site. This installed the .dll . Do I need to copy the .dll file to another folder?

Just need to add a reference in your project.

I use the freetextbox for my personal projects. You're right... It is a good piece of work. The only things that I found were:

1) The client-side script seems to cause the textbox's response time to be slower than the richtextbox
2) The freetextbox is not as easily configurable (gui-wise)
3) There seem to be more features in the richtextbox... But what can you expect when you're paying for a product?

However, you are able to easily add your own features to the FreeTextBox via either compiled add-ons or simple markup custom buttons with custom JS functions being called. A very slick feature.

You can also buy the source code for freetextbox for less than half of what RichTextBox costs ($50).

Both are outstanding products.
