Hi. I'm trying to find a FREE (and good) RichText Textbox control for
ASP.NET.  It's for a nonprofit site so I literally can't spend any money to
obtain one.  I have tried the found and tried the following but they both had
serious limitations and won't work.  Anyone know of any others????  Thanks.

- Codeplex RTF Control (http://www.codeplex.com/rte).  Required a good
knowledge of javascript to perform basic functions.

- Freetextbox (www.freetextbox.com).  Too buggy.

The textbox loses it's .text property on postback.  The problem is discussed
all throughout their Forums, but there's no apparent solution, other than not
to postback.

You generally get what you pay for - except when you're a non profit --  
sometimes companies will cut you a great deal.

I don't know if this company will give you a break, but CuteEditor is a very
powerful and highly configurable editor:

Right now I am looking into oboutSuite.  It is free and has editor and spell
checker.  Haven't done alot with it but samples look good.

I think you misread the obout site, I believe only a few of their products
are free such as the show and flyout components. The editor is not according
to http://www.obout.com/inc/purchase.aspx. That said, their suite is very
reasonably priced.

Hope this helps,

Ok did not see that.  I have downloaded and tried out the controls without
any nag or indication of downgraded functionallity.

I read these about them working fine, but is anyone actually using any
of them in an update panel.   I'm seeing that they all break once that
level of complexity is added.

Try XStandard (http://www.xstandard.com). It's a browser plug-in so
has to be downloaded before use, but this is painless. It's easy to
implement, generates valid XHTML and uses web services to upload
files / images and do spell checking. Content editing aspect is free,
but using the web services requires a licence (for XStandard Pro).
