Hi,
I downloaded the editor from the page http://www.fckeditor.net/download
and followed all the instructions provided in the package to use the control. But when I drag the control from the toolbox on to my asp.net page, I do not see the control and when I run my page I am getting the error
HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version Information: ASP.NET Development Server 8.0.0.0
I downloaded the software to a different location and I added a reference to the dll over to my project which is in a different location.
I thought I would download the software to play with it first but I am not successful. Do I need to purchase it in order to test it out first? Any quick help is greatly appreciated!!

Re: Cannot find the fck editor control on my asp.net page
i Had the same problem i've fixed by changing the "basepath" property of my fckEditor instance in design mode. By default it was "/fckeditor/", i've changed it to "/myrootfolder/fckeditor/" with myrootfolder equal to the name of my website that you can also see in the adress bar in your navigator, just after "http://localhost:NPORT/" in local test. Hopes this help, works for me...

Re: Cannot find the fck editor control on my asp.net page
This worked now. I fixed by changing the "basepath" property of my fckEditor instance in design mode. By default it was "/fckeditor/", i've changed it to "/myrootfolder/fckeditor/" with myrootfolder equal to the name of my website that you can also see in the adress bar in your navigator, just after "http://localhost:NPORT/" in local test. Make sure you copy the fckeditor folder from the source code downloaded into your project.
Re: Cannot find the fck editor control on my asp.net page
thanks for the tip! worked for me too with one little side note...
if you use the tilde ~ instead of your root folder's name it will still work, and should work for any root folder...so when you deploy to your webserver it should run the same
Question for the devs...should the next version of the control include this as the default basepath since the current one obviously isn't resolving for a lot of us in ASP.Net?
Another question/suggestion for the devs...maybe the ASP.Net setup docs should mention basepath since I did quite a bit of looking and never heard of it until the forums...I did see that I could, in theory, put the fck source files in any folder, but didn't see the property to tell the control where to look! I never check design mode and hadn't thought to check Intellisense's list of properties (I guess that's my fault though).
Anyway, just wanted to add a little piece...thanks for the help and the great editor!
