This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

It is very easy to use FCKeditor in your ASP.NET web pages. Just follow these steps.

Integration step by step

Step 1

First step you should take in order to integrate FCKeditor with ASP.NET environment is downloading the FCKeditor .Net package from our dowlnoad site. You can find the latest version of the package under this address:

http://www.fckeditor.net/download

Note: The main code is not included in this package, just the ASP.NET Control. You still need the FCKeditor scripts to be able to run it, so you should download it as well

Step 2

Unpack the downloaded file. There you will find the original source code of the control and a compiled version of it. The file is called FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll. You can find it in two catalogs:

  • bin/Release/1.1/ - the version designed for ASP.NET 1.1
  • bin/Release/2.0/ - the version designed for ASP.NET 2.0

You most probably will not need to make changes in the source, so just consider the compiled DLL file, and just create a reference to it in your project. You have two options to do that:

  1. Manually copy the FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll file to the "bin" directory of your web site.
  2. Right-click "References" in your Visual Studio.NET project in the "Solution Explorer". Use "Browse" to select the FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll file from the directory you have saved it in.
