In a vb.net 2010 web form application, I am using the radeditor. I am using the editor from a version from 6 months ago. In this application, the template values are obtained from a templates editor setup for the administrator. The Template values look like &data.eval. These values are used in the application to replace that value with html in that application. I have added a few new values to this template due to the new html I want to replace the literals with. When I step through the code in a few situations, I do not see the new literals that look like &data.eval that I just created.
Thus would you tell me what you think is wrong and what I can do to solve the problem?

Hello Diane,
I am not sure I can understand the exact issue, but from what I can gather you seem to need an HTML editor in a data bound control like a grid. To get such a scenario working, I advise that you review the following resources:
- RadEditor in a RadGrid column when the grid is in Edit mode: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/edittemplate/defaultcs.aspx.
- Editing HTML through RadEditor in a RadGrid when in Batch Edit Mode: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/performing-updates-inserts-containing-html-for-a-batch-editing-grid.
If the issue is with custom content coming from template files from the Template manager dialog, I suggest you look into the way encoding works, because the & symbol will get encoded to & which is its HTML entity. To stop this, you can disable the ConvertCharactersToEntities filter that is enabled by default: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/managing-content/content-filters. Or, take a look at the Mail Merge code library sample project that shows another approach of replacing field values that do not include special characters: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/mailmerge-with-radeditor.
