Samples

Sample applications are provided to demonstrate usage of the PowerWEB TextBox for ASP.NET in Visual Studio .NET. The Visual Studio .NET samples are available in both VB.NET and C#. The samples are structured around a single Web application per environment that demonstrates usage from links off a central page. For example, the Visual Studio .NET C# samples are available from the PowerWEB TextBox C# Samples project.

Please note the documentation also includes a number of tutorials and code snippets for certain control members.

IMPORTANT: These samples are setup for the .NET Framework 1.1, rather than 1.0. This means that the samples have the following attribute set: ValidateRequest="false" If you wish to use these samples with the 1.0 version of the Framework, you will need to remove that attribute from the ASPX file. Below is an example ASPX header that will contain that attribute:

<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="LatestNews.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" 
                                Inherits="PowerWEB_TextBox_CSharp.LatestNews" ValidateRequest="false"%>

The default directory for sample applications is:

[PersonalFolder]\Dart Sample Applications\PowerWEB\TextBox for ASP.NET
