I have a webpage which has a textbox section in it. I want it to be similar like this image:
But not that much complicated regarding code files goes. Want the user to edit some characters put some Bold/Underline/Italic fonts into it. Some smileys that all.
Any help?
There are many great open source controls that do this free and easily. If you're using MVC, I recommend tinymce, or if you're using webforms, FreeTextBox is great.

I have an ASP.NET website that is a panel for managing and sending e-mails. I want people to have an editor to changed what is in the template itself (which is writing in plain HTML.) in withing my site.
But, I don't want them to see the HTML. I just need them to edit the text and not touch the CSS/HTML to not destroy the look of it. Any tips or solutions that any one may know?
Use a free RichTextBox control in your project. You can find many open source or free controls out there.
Here's an example
http://www.freetextbox.com/
In this website you could find a list of controls that you could use.
You can use Ajax "HTMLEditior" or "HTMLEditiorExtender" for this
purpose
For what is HTMLEditor and how to use it follow this link
HTML Editor (AJAX Tool Kit)
Check ckeditor which has lot of editing features and your users can do almost everything. Also it supports inline editing.
I need to add in a WYSIWYG control into a .NET form. I found this one from SpiceLogic on several sites and was wondering if this is a decent library to use?

If anyone has any additional input, I also would like to know of any other decent alternatives, both free and non-free.
Thanks in advance for any opinions on this!
EDIT Should have clarified this before, but this is a desktop application.
You can also try one of these strategies:
Use the RichTextBox control, which exposes a FlowDocument. Write a program that converts the FlowDocument to HTML. Since FlowDocs are much more constrained that HTML, this conversion might be pretty straightforward (sections -> div, paragraph -> p, styles -> css or style attributes, etc).
Use MSHTML and put it into edit mode. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753622(v=vs.85).aspx
You may want to try XStandard. I have used it in CMS web sites and it works great. You can also use it with desktop apps. There is a free "lite" version and a for=pay pro version. It creates XHTML markup and has lots of slick built-in functionality.
As a comparison, I have used Telerik RAD Editor and XStandard is much better (IMO). I have also tried other web-specific solutions like FCKEditor and TinyMCE and I prefer XStandard.
If your concern is to get XHTML all the time right from the beginning which should be published on the Web, then, I would say, "Yes", you can try that component from SpiceLogic, especially the version 5.x which was released very recently. It comes with many features like embedding images for an email client, Uploading local images to FTP, paste from MS Word, rich Dialogs for Tables, Images, Hyperlink, Symbols, Inline Spell Checker and Spell Checker dialogs, and more.

TinyMCE is a great way to achieve this. Here is a way to embed TinyMCE in Winform. I tested it and it works pretty well: https://github.com/Rocker93/winforms-html-editor
An other solution is CEFSharp. The integration is not easy but it's very well documented and it's the most powerful and free solution I have found.
At work we use telerik controls for this stuff:

its definitely not free though.
I'm hoping people have some ideas to help solve this problem.
I am developing a C# ASP.NET website and the client requires an online form that users will fill in and submit. OK, so far so good.....
Imagine, say, a form that you fill in on paper - they normally have a distinctive look specific to the company and will be filed, quite possibly as a legally binding document.
I need to have an online form that when submitted emails the client with something they can print out and will look exactly like their printed forms.
As this is web based, I think the option of capturing a screenshot are out the question, so I'm wondering how best to approach this?
Even if I just had a form that captures the data presented how I want, how could I translate this data into the view they want?
Any ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated.
You'll need to take the raw data that was submitted and import it into a standard document (likely PDF). You can use Crystal or another reporting solution, or direct to PDF using one of the many PDF .NET solutions that are out there.
I don't think you'd even want to deal with making the document physically match the screen - much easier to make the web look like the web, and make the printed doc look like a printed doc.
Print a page (this one) from a Browser, notice all the headers and footers?
If you want serious control over how it is going to look, you will need to generate a PDF (or maybe XPS).
Couldn't you just use a sepparate page with a CSS that gives the desired look & feel?
I want to add a tool bar (just like the one above the text area where we type our questions in this forum , with bold,italic etc) to a web page.Is there an easier way of doing this?I am using ASP.Net c# and VS2008.
Thankx in advance.
Here is one of the well known ones.

There are a bunch. The "most famous" is tinyMCE, but there is also CKEditor. If you need an highly customizable solution, you could also try Wysihat.
there is so many WYSWING editor (open source and commercial) In most of my cases CKEditor was the best option . it is opensource and fully customizable
I'm looking for a syntax highlighter cum code formatter for my blog on BlogSpot. I've tried several today, but the all want to include <style> tags, or reference a stylesheet. I'm looking for one that is ideal for segments of code, and includes styling inline. Any suggestions?
The project referenced above has moved:

You can always copy the extra few bytes of styling for, say, a Pygments highlighter (which really is quite excellent) into the <head> of your blog. You don't even need to install any software; just copy the HTML from the online service.
I've created a Free Online C# Syntax Highlighter that has exactly the ability you need - to inline the needed CSS styles. All you have to do is to select the "Inlined styles" check box, paste your C# code and click the Colorize button. You can find it on my blog.
Try this one: http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/
I use SyntaxHighlighter Javascript Library. It's really easy to add and use.
here's more information on it that might help others out:

I had this exact problem.
I wrote an image formatter for Pygments (included in the core distribution).
Please don't hate me for such an abomination, but yes, it renders the highlighted code as a png or jpg or whatever you want. So it has no external dependencies etc.
pygmentize -f png -o mysource.png mysource.cs
I try to make sure that I always link a plain text version of the source for people copy-pasting.
