What is the best free, Ajax.NET (System.Web.Extensions 3.5) compatible Rich Text Box control?

Question

I'm looking for a good ASP.NET RichTextBox component that integrates fairly easily with .NET Framework 3.5 Ajax, specifically one that can easily provide its values from inside an UpdatePanel.

I got burned by RicherComponents RichTextBox which still does not reference the Framework 3.5.

thanks!

Answer 1

Look at FCKEditor for a free solution. I'm unsure if it's usable inside an update panel, but it's free and opensource.

If you would consider going with an HTML editor instead of a Rich Text format editor, I recommend the Telerik web editor. It is very flexible and integrates quite solidly with Ajax.
