I am quite new to .net development, and uptill now had sussed it, I
have created a web application, kind of like a blog on my localhost,
It is delvered through SQL, and depending on where the user assigns
the pages will depend on where it is published in the site, but I
wan't to add a text editor to the text areas to make it a bit more
user friendly.

I have tried CUTE and FCK, both have a DLL, I need to register/
reference the DLL.

This is the closest thing I believe I have done to making it work, I
open Visual Web Developer, then I open the site, and click [website]
[add reference] then click on the DLL in the bin.

Doesn't work for me, am I doing something glaringly wrong, or do I
need to add something to my framework 2.0.507 - I'm really lost for
ideas on how this element of it works.

Any thoughts welcome

Sam

.NET .dll's (assemblies) do not need to be registed in order to be used. If
you'd like one .dll to be able to use the code libraries inside another, you
need to have the first one make a reference to the other. This is done by
going to the "My Project" node of the Solution Explorer window and then
navigating to the References category and then adding a reference to the
second .dll.

Once that is done, you may acces the code libraries in the second .dll
through the root namespace of that assembly.
