[Solved] Using HttpHandler for tools xml and css

[Matthew]

I need to save the tools xml and css classes for the RadEditor in a database and the apply them to the editor based on which user is viewing.  I'm trying to use an HttpHandler to render the xml and css as follows:
                           

                            if (type == "tools")
                            {
                                context.Response.Clear();
                                context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
                                context.Response.Write(toolsXml);
                            }
                            else if (type == "css")
                            {
                                context.Response.Clear();
                                context.Response.ContentType = "text/css";
                                context.Response.Write(cssText);
                            }

In the above code, "toolsXml" and "cssText" are strings that contain the text from the database. 

Then code the editor as follows:

editor.ToolsFile = "~/ResourceHandler.ashx?mode=editor&type=tools";
editor.CssFiles.Add("~/ResourceHandler.ashx?mode=editor&type=css");

The editor throws an error when setting the ToolsFile property in this way, and just doesn't apply the css file at all.  How can I make the editor accept the handler as a valid xml or css url?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

To load the ToolsFile via a http handler you should use a full URL which starts with http://
Another way to load the toolsfile is using the LoadToolsFile server method of RadEditor which receive XML document as a value containing the different tools.

The Css files could be loaded with ~/ path. Our suggestion is to delete your browser cache and test again.
