Hi

I just downloaded the CuteEditor and I'm testing it and it looks very promising.

I'm trying to render the control on my website instead of using the regular tag. The code I have is this.

Editor e = new Editor();
e.Text = "abc";

StringBuilder sb    = new StringBuilder();
StringWriter sw        = new StringWriter(sb);;
HtmlTextWriter htw  = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);;

e.RenderControl(htw);
Response.Write(sb.ToString());


And the error it throws is this

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   CuteEditor.a.d(HtmlTextWriter A_0) +1247
   CuteEditor.a.f(HtmlTextWriter A_0) +505
   CuteEditor.a.g(HtmlTextWriter A_0) +109
   CuteEditor.a.i(HtmlTextWriter A_0) +57
   CuteEditor.Editor.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) +43
   System.Web.UI.Control.RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer) +243
   ASP.temp_aspx.__Render__control1(HtmlTextWriter __output, Control parameterContainer) in C:\Projects\trunk\AppServer\web\barn\create\temp.aspx:19
   System.Web.UI.Control.RenderChildren(HtmlTextWriter writer) +27
   System.Web.UI.Control.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) +7
   System.Web.UI.Control.RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer) +243
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +1926

I think I'm doing everything right, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

This is the hole page, I'm not using code-behind(there is a reason why I can't use code-behind)

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Import namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import namespace="CuteEditor" %>

<%
    Editor e = new Editor();
    e.Text = "abc";

    StringBuilder sb    = new StringBuilder();
    StringWriter sw        = new StringWriter(sb);;
    HtmlTextWriter htw  = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);;

    e.RenderControl(htw);
    Response.Write(sb.ToString());
%>

I'm using this same code for other controls that I include on my website and they work ok, except in those instances they are UserControl not WebControls like CuteEditor. So basically I want to render the control using c# code not using (html like) tag.

Hi Adam

Thanks for your reply

The thing is I don't want to use <CE:Editor id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor> in my code. When  <CE:Editor..... /> is used I need to use <script runat="server"> and the Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) method or code-behind. This is something that I don't want to do(actually can't do it for a specific boring reason that I don't want get into ).

Try running this example code on an aspx page
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Import namespace="System.IO" %>

<%
    System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button b = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button();
    b.Text = "hello";

    StringBuilder sb    = new StringBuilder();
    StringWriter sw        = new StringWriter(sb);
    HtmlTextWriter htw  = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

    b.RenderControl(htw);
    Response.Write(sb.ToString());
%>

As you can see the result is <input type="submit" name value="hello" /> from that code. That is what I would like from CuteEditor when I call RenderControl. In theory this should work as you can see with the Button WebControl (or any other WebControl that you would try, even non-Microsoft).

It's like I need initiate some variable sine an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception is thrown.

Hope you can give me some tip on this
