Using RadEditor in ASP.NET MVC
1. RadEditor needs to be placed inside a form tag
2. To use RadEditor’s dialog you need to change the extension of the dialog HTTP handler (in web.config):
Before:
| [web.config] |
 Copy Code |
|
<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" ... />
|
After:
| [web.config] |
Copy Code |
|
<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.axd" ... />
|
and set the DialogHandlerUrl property:
| [ASPX] Set the DialogHandlerUrl property |
Copy Code |
|
<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
DialogHandlerUrl="~/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.axd" />
|
Getting the content of RadEditor
To get the content of your RadEditor you need to use a helper method. Here is its implementation (the code is also available as part of the RadControlHelper class):
| [C#] Helper methods |
Copy Code |
|
public static string ExtractHtmlValue(HttpRequestBase
request, string controlId)
{
return request.Form.Keys.OfType<string>()
.Where(postedValue => postedValue.EndsWith(controlId))
.Select(postedValue => request.Form[postedValue])
.FirstOrDefault();
}
public static string ExtractStringValue(HttpRequestBase request, string editorId)
{
return Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.ContentEncoder.Decode(ExtractHtmlValue(request, editorId));
}
|
Here is how to use it:
| [C#] Getting the contents of RadEditor |
Copy Code |
|
public ActionResult Save()
{
string editorContents = RadControlHelper.ExtractHtmlValue(Request, “”
//Code to update your model using the editor content
}
|
Setting the content of RadEditor
To set the content of RadEditor you need to set the value of its Content property:
| [ASPX] Setting the content of RadEditor |
Copy Code |
|
<%
RadEditor1.Content = (string)ViewData["Content"];
%>
<form>
<telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"
/>
</form>
