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:
- Manually copy the FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll file to the "bin" directory of your web site.
- 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.
