CKEditor for ASP.NET Released!
We are happy to announce the release of yet another official CKEditor integration, this time for ASP.NET. The CKEditor for ASP.NET Control makes integrating the most popular online WYSIWYG editor in the world with ASP.NET applications easier than ever before.
ASP.NET Support
Since its initial release in 2002 the ASP.NET web application framework has gained a lot of support among the developers. ASP.NET integration was already available for the predecessor of CKEditor, the acclaimed FCKeditor, and we are now proud to present the complete rewrite of this feature that is compatible with .NET Framework 2.0+.
- Full support for Microsoft Ajax environment.
- Straightforward configuration and customization.
- Ready-made samples that work out of the box.
- Clear and simple documentation.
Using CKEditor for ASP.NET
Adding a CKEditor instance to your ASP.NET application has never been easier. After you download the control, almost all you need to do is add it to your page using the code like the one below:
<CKEditor:CKEditorControl ID="CKEditor1" runat="server"> </CKEditor:CKEditorControl>
Complete step-by-step integration instructions are available in the documentation.

Thanks !
Shekhar , blog comments are definitely *not* the best place to seek support. Use the community forum for that, please. There is a lot of documentation for CKEditor, too, see especially the Developer's Guide here: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide
ASP.NET-specific issues are explained here: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide#CKEditor_for_ASP.NET
please any body tell us that CKEditor for asp.net ,is it free ? can i use without license?
Yes, CKEditor for asp.net is free. Just download the Open Source version (top) and the asp.net control (bottom): http://ckeditor.com/download
Asp.net documentation is located at the bottom of this page.
Hola, está muy bacano el CKEditor, pero quería saber como se integra este con el CKFinder, para que puedan subir imagenes al servidor, al sitio y seleccionar imagenes. Muchas Gracias
Our guides on how to integrate CKFinder with CKEditor are located here. You will have to pick your CKFinder version and click on "CKEditor Integration". Sorry, no guides in Spanish. CKFinder needs a license. It's not Open Source.
I've found a bug:
The BasePath property of CKEditorControl doesn't support "auto-scheme" urls.
When we're using both Http and Https, to avoid security alerts from browser we can use a no-scheme url. I.E:
http://www.domain.com/scripts/ck.js - using HTTP
https://www.domain.com/scripts/ck.js - using HTTPS
//www.domain.com/scripts/ck.js - using HTTP or HTTPS according to browsers curent scheme ("auto-scheme")
The last option, //www.domain[...] will add the url again when render the page. With our current version is rendering //www.domain.com/www.domain.com/scripts/ck.js.
Thanks,
