Question

I\'m trying to do something that many people seem to have been able to do but which I am unable to implement any solution. The TinyMCE control works pretty well in an asp.net fo

This solution no longer works for TinyMCE 4.2.3. Instead of using tinymce.mceRemoveControl() you now need to use tinymce.remove(). Here is a full working example:

The Page

    <%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/Frame.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="FullImplementation.aspx.cs" 
  Inherits="TinyMCE" ValidateRequest="false" %>



  


  
    

      
        Default editor text
      

      
        
           
           
        
      

            

    
  

  

The Code-Behind:

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

public partial class TinyMCE : System.Web.UI.Page
{
  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    // we have to tell the editor to re-save the date on Submit 
    if (!ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).IsInAsyncPostBack)
    {
      ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this, this.GetType(), "SaveTextBoxBeforePostBack", "SaveTextBoxBeforePostBack()");
    }

  }

  protected void butSaveEditorContent_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    string htmlEncoded = WebUtility.HtmlEncode(tbHtmlEditor.Text);

  }

  private void SaveToDb(string htmlEncoded)
  {
    /// save to database column
  }

  protected void ddlTest_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {

  }
}
