I'm looking for a good ASP.NET RichTextBox component that integrates fairly easily with .NET Framework 3.5 Ajax, specifically one that can easily provide its values from inside an UpdatePanel.

I got burned by RicherComponents RichTextBox which still does not reference the Framework 3.5.

thanks!

Look at FCKEditor for a free solution. I'm unsure if it's usable inside an update panel, but it's free and opensource.

The latest version of the FCKEditor works perfectly in an update panel. I just switched from the crappy RicherComponents RTB which did not work (same as the OP's situation).

Googled based on craigmoliver's answer and found this: http://www.webcitation.org/5bFQaq7Wp

Basically, it's a solution to allow FCKEditor to work in an update panel, which I will try and post if it work.

Oh, also from the FCKSite: "July 26, 2008 - FCKeditor.Net 2.6.3 released : This new version of our ASP.Net integration fixes incompatibility issues with the Microsoft ASP.Net AJAX UpdatePanel. Other minor fixes are also included."

If you would consider going with an HTML editor instead of a Rich Text format editor, I recommend the Telerik web editor. It is very flexible and integrates quite solidly with Ajax.
