It uses Regular Extensions to parse the file names. read more...

published 9 months, 15 days ago, submitted by Klaus 9 months, 20 days ago

tellingmachine.com — I just finished upgrading my blog to BlogEngine version 1.3. While in the process of porting it to the new release, I spent some time experimenting with the extensions and the new BlogEngine 1.3 Extension Manager.

ASP.NET Rich Text Editor Control

published 1 year ago, submitted by jamesewelch 1 year ago

blogs.msdn.com — Kannan Sundararajan, Microsoft, has written a Rich Text Editor control using ASP.NET and JavaScript and shared it under the MS-PL license on CodePlex. It has a very rich feature set and Kannan hopes to enhance it further in the future. Features: * Clipboard support: You can copy and paste content from other programs like Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, Visual Studio into the RichTextEditor and it will persist the formatting. If you copy code from Visual Studio it will preserve the code coloring scheme. * Context sensitive Toolbar: The ToolBar buttons will reflect the properties of that content automatically when you select it or navigate through it using the mouse or keyboard . * Code Block: It allows you to format text as code blocks. Simple select the text and format it by clicking the "Code Block" ToolBar button. * Emoticons: You can express yourself better by adding emoticons to your rich text. * HtmlView: If you would like to have more control over the look and feel of your text then you can edit it in HtmlView as well. * Text in multiple languages: The control currently supports several languages. * Browser support: The control works well in two of the most widely used browsers Internet Explorer and Firefox. read more...
