Why would you want to write your own WYSIWYG editor?

Rich Editor Controls that you can use with ASP.NET

HTML Editors
As near as I can tell, all of these work in-browser and produce HTML or XHTML.

Word Processing, RTF, PDF, and more
These variously support other formats, notably non-HTML (e.g. RTF) and sometimes PDF.

Other/Not Sure
I’m not sure how exactly these fit into the picture; they’re listed at least in one location as being ASP.NET editors.

  • Community Editor (BigByte). Desktop editing, it says; possibly not in-page HTML editing? Appears to be free.
  • DevEdit NX (Interspire). Not 100% clear that it supports ASP.NET.

More Information

  • A similar list is available at 123aspx.com.
  • Daniel Walzenbach published a list as well in December 2007. With pictures! :-)
  • Scott Mitchell has an article on using FreeTextBox.
  • Building a WYSIWYG HTML Editor” A two-part article by Mitchell Harper. I’m pretty certain that this is for Internet Explorer only
