Rich Text Box

[newbie.net]

Hi -

I followed the instructions to implement RTB on my site according to the article: http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10172

Then the compiler complained since I did not have the reference with RTB. So, I downloaded the eval version and installed on my local machine by running RichTextBox2.0.msi and it installed in c://Program Files/RichTextBox v2.0 folder.

I ran Gacutil.exe -i RichTextBox.dll and I saw the
message saying "Assembly successfully added to the cache". I also saw the RichTextBox in winnt/assembly folder. BTW, I have XP Pro. I then even rebooted my machine and started the VS.NET and I still don't see the RichTextBox.dll on the GAC list from Project->Add Reference.

I contacted RTB support twice and no response so far.

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I had to copy and paste it into a bin folder on my IIS server. I then import the namespace into my pages. It works fine. I installed it as you say you did, but I just went to the program files and stuck it in my web dir.

I appreciate all suggestions. I finally ended up yanking Program Files\RichTextBox v2.0\RichTextBox.dll and RichTextBox.xml into winnt\microsoft.NET\v1.1.4322\ folder.

Then, I select RichTextBox from Project->Add Reference from GAC list. Everything seems to be working now.

I think you should be able to just add the RTB control in your webforms control list (where the datagrids, repeaters, ... can be choosen). right-click in that area and then search for the RichTextBox control.
