Editing HTML in .NET Application with WebBrowser controls

jeremysmith1967 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:37:49 +0000

I had a requirement to be able to edit HTML from within my .NET (C#) application. After browsing many third-party controls, both free and payed for, I found that the current WebBrowser control can be used to edit HTML in a WYSIWYG fashion. I wrapped up the control into its own class, which enables seamless editing. The class I created was a User control, which contains a single web browser control. This can then replace the standard webBrowser controls available in VS.

The code that was required was:
public EditableWebControl() { InitializeComponents();


    webBrowser1.DocumentText = ""; // used to init the doc

    ((IHTMLDocument2)webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument).designMode = "On";

}
public String Html

{

    get

    {

        return webBrowser1.DocumentText;

    }

set { webBrowser1.Document.OpenNew(true); webBrowser1.Document.Write(value); } }

Evaluating OGNL expressions in struts portlets in Websphere Portal Server 6.1

I had a problem with a struts application being ported to Websphere Portal 6.1 where the OGNL expressions were not being evaluated.

for example:

would display the string

${MyBean.propertyName}

rather than evaluate the property on the bean.

The correct evaluation occurred when the following was added to the JSP:

<%@ page isELIgnored=”false”%>

Create Struts App with Websphere/RAD 7.5

jeremysmith1967 — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:12:30 +0000

Within RAD 7.5, the option to include the struts framework/tools in a new dynamic web application was not visible during the creation of the application.

To add struts support to a non-struts application:

- Open properties of the project

- Select Project Facets

- Check the version of struts support from the list of available variations/versions

Take a look at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&context=SSHRKX&dc=DB560&dc=DB520&uid=swg21368363&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct688websphere

This shows an error with RAD 7.5 working with Struts and Portal Server 6.1.

When attempting to install a program in Windows 7 RTM x64 is was receiving the error “you do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. Please rerun the installation from an administrators account”.

To get around this,

- Open a command prompt, make sure you use “Run As Administrator”.
- In the command prompt, locate and run the appropriate installation file.
