In page 630 we have the Textbox that is used to input the user biography.

I have hooked it to the Tiny-MCE(a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control) to assist the user to format the text inside the textbox.

my question,

1)how can i save this content with the formatting to the database instead of using the ASP.NET Profile.
2)How can I retrieve the same content from the database

Hi thee,

Saving from a rich text editor is the same as saving from a standard text field. This is covered in the database chapters. For example, the section Updating and Inserting Data on page 459 is a good start. Also, the chapter on LINQ will give you some pointers on how to do this from a code only perspective.

Cheers,

Imar
