A good html capable richedit replacement for winforms?

Question

Hi

Can anyone recommend a html replacement for a winforms (c#) richedit control?

I would like a control like the build in richedit control, that just use HTML instead of rtf to store the text. I don't want it to edit HTML, just to present a editor with images and styled text that store the result in html.

I would prefer a free control, but if there aren't any good control a commercial control would be acceptable too.

If a WPF control is an option, look at this control: http://wpfricheditorlibrary.codeplex.com/

There is an excellent open-source library for converting RTF to HTML... you could couple this with either the built-in richedit control, or use one of the many extended controls to achieve your goal. You'd just need to wire the two together, which isn't that hard.

A couple of the extended RTF controls:
