    svk,
     
    You should use Editor.Text property to extract the content of editor. The reason you got the object reference not set to instance of object is causing you are using the wrong editor ID or other programming issues.
     
    Here is an example: Online email example
     
    The source code of this example can be found in the download pakcage. You can use it as a reference.

    Dear,
     
    Please save the following content to GetContent.aspx,
     
    <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="GetContent.aspx.vb" Inherits="test_Default" %>
    <%@ Register assembly="CuteEditor" namespace="CuteEditor" tagprefix="CE" %>
    <%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Test Page </title>    
        </head>
        <body>
            <form id="Form1" runat="server">
                <table cellpadding="15">
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <h1>Edit Static Html</h1>        
                            This example demonstrates you can use Cute Editor to edit static html page. Below is an example page that displays a document held in an HTML file on the hard drive. When you submit the form, the document is saved back to the drive. <a href="document.htm"><b>Check the document.htm</b></a>
                            <br />
                            <CE:Editor id="Editor1" AllowPasteHtml="false" runat="server" ></CE:Editor><BR>
                            <asp:Button id="btnUpdate" onclick="Submit" Runat="server" Text="Submit"></asp:Button><br />            
                            <asp:textbox id="textbox1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="250px" Width="750px" Font-Name="Arial"></asp:TextBox>                            
                        
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>            
            </form>
        </body>
    </html>

     
    Save the following content to GetContent.aspx.vb
     

    Partial Class test_Default
        Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
        Public Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

            If Page.IsPostBack Then
                textbox1.Text = Editor1.Text
            Else
            End If
        End Sub
        Public Sub Submit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
            textbox1.Text = Editor1.Text
        End Sub
    End Class
     
    You can run GetContent.aspx, it works.

    Eric
