WebEditor for ASP.NET Quick Start

The WebEditor for ASP.NET Quick Start will lead you through the creation of a Web form that uses the C1WebEditor control. In the following steps, you will add the C1WebEditor control to your project, customize the control's appearance using the designer, and run the application. To begin, create a new ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site and complete the following steps:

1.   Click the Design tab located below the Document window to switch to Design view.

2.   From the Toolbox, double-click the C1WebEditor control to add it to the Web form.

4.   C1WebEditor features Office 2007-style auto format styles. To change the style, click the smart tag () and select the Auto Format link from the Tasks menu. The Auto Format dialog box appears.

5.   Select a scheme from the list; for example, Office 2007 Black. Click OK to accept the new auto format.

 

 

6.   At design time, you can also choose your initial EditorMode. You can choose between WYSIWYG, Code, or Split view. For this example, set the EditorMode property to Split. Complete the following steps:

a.   Click the smart tag () and select the Property builder link from the Tasks menu.

b.   In the C1WebEditor Properties editor, select the Editor item on the left pane.

c.    Select the Editor mode drop-down arrow and select Split.

 

 

Note: In the property builder's Editor pane, you can also change the text that initially appears in the WebEditor's text window by modifying the HTML in the Text box.

d.   Click OK to close the property builder.

7.   Press CTRL + F5 to run your application.
