RE: VB.NET problem retrieving data from FCKed

Hi again,

At last I got some VB.NET code to work - it loads a file which you can edit with FCKeditor, then it will save the file by overwriting the original.

As promised, here's the code, but I would appreciate any comments to make it better .....

<%@ Page ValidateRequest="false" Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="FCKeditorV2" Namespace="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" Assembly="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" %>

<script runat="server" language="VB">
Sub Page_Load(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim objStreamReader As StreamReader
Dim strInput As String
Dim strSeedData As String
strSeedData = ""
objStreamReader = File.OpenText(MapPath("cgi-bin\story.txt"))
strInput = objStreamReader.ReadLine()
While (strInput <> Nothing)
strSeedData &= strInput
strInput = objStreamReader.ReadLine()
End While
objStreamReader.Close()
FCKeditor1.Value = strSeedData
End If
End Sub

Sub SaveStory(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim strData2Save As String = FCKeditor1.Value.ToString
Dim objStreamWriter As StreamWriter

objStreamWriter = File.CreateText( MapPath("cgi-bin\story.txt"))
objStreamWriter.WriteLine(strData2Save)
objStreamWriter.Close
End Sub

</script>

<html>
<head>
<title=FCKeditor Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<form runat="server">
      <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor id="FCKeditor1" BasePath="/FCKeditor/"   Width="400px"  ToolbarSet="Basic" runat="server"></FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
      <br />
      <asp:Button id="btnSave" text=" Save Story " runat="server" OnClick="SaveStory" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

Thanks to this forum and the documentation, I finally got there !!

I hope this helps others. FCKeditor - or whatever you finally call it - is a great alternative to the commercial products.
