Dart Communications Releases PowerWEB TextBox for ASP.NET 3.0
Dart Communications announced the latest release of PowerWEB TextBox for ASP.NET. This product allows Microsoft ASP.NET developers to replace the standard TextArea of their Web application with support for HTML content editing and traditional word processing capabilities without relying on any client-side components or controls.
Version 3.0 now incorporates Dart s Ajax technology developed for its PowerWEB LiveControls product. Like LiveControls, TextBox enables software developers to build Web applications that don t require a browser refresh. This helps eliminate the flicker and delays associated with a browser postback, providing a smoother Windows-like feel for the user. There is no requirement for complex JavaScript or outside plug-in technologies such as Java applets or Flash. In addition, this upgrade of TextBox establishes compatibility with the .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
For developers creating ASP.NET content-management applications, Web mail products, Web forums, or just wanting their users to have word processor-like control over HTML content, PowerWEB TextBox for ASP.NET allows instant replacement for the standard TextBox control used in most Web applications. Just like a standard word processor or HTML editor, the developer has control over the look and feel of all items on the screen, and has the ability to create custom buttons, toolbar items, and Windows-like dialogs that encapsulate customized code. All data is visible in either WYSIWYG form or as HTML tags. For the end-user, all standard HTML capability is available, including table editing, image manipulation, color pickers, and text formatting. If used in conjunction with PowerWEB LiveControls, PowerWEB TextBox provides such functionality as manipulating application interface components within asynchronous callbacks to the server.
Designed for beginners and advanced users, the TextBox control supports zero-code customization, as virtually every aspect of the product can be customized using its built-in Property Builder within Visual Studio.NET 2002, 2003, and 2005. All objects in the control can be manipulated to meet the project s interface requirements. This includes customization of the toolbars, buttons, dialogs, progress bar, tab strip, and more. The control also supports skins and configuration persistence.
