I noticed you are doing this:

private Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Editors.FCKEditor rtbNote;

which is using the DLL from this package that I downloaded "Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary.1.0_NET20" maybe there is a 3.5 version that I will search for that is compatible with 3.5 and resolves my issues of:

When I change the FCKedtior I am using to this DLL, I get a compile time error of

"Error 30 The base class or interface 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Control' in assembly 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Common, Version=2.0.5701.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=263fa4ef694acff6' referenced by type 'Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary.FCKEditor' could not be resolved c:\Users\Georgette\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ConsoleApplication4\WebGUIApplication1\Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary.dll WebGUIApplication1"

I also get some compile time errors regarding not being able to add the control to my Form...

I see that you are declaring it like this:

private Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Editors.FCKEditor rtbNote;

which confuses me, because when using Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary, the fully qualified name (FQN) is Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary.FCKEditor and what you are using here is the FQN when using Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Extended.dll in the latest VWG...

If you could tell me where you got the Gizmox.WebGUI.FCKLibrary.dll that is compatible with VWG 6.4 (.NET 3.5) that may be the solution to my problems.

Hi malmhead,

Welcome to Visual WebGui

Kenn... I'm watching Thanks for your help here.

Malmhead, the FCKLibrary you are refering to, was a project started quite a while ago, long before FCKEditor became one of the controls that are included in every Visual WebGui installation, and will appear to you inside the Gizmox.WebGui.Forms.Extended assembly. The FCKEditor control inside that asselbly should be used in all Visual WebGui projects now that it's included.

In addition, you will need the FCKEditor resources, and the rule of thumb is that you should always be using the FCKEditor resources that are distributed with the version of Visual WebGui you are currently using. If you are using 6.4.0Beta3, you should obtain FCKEditor resources from 6.4.0Beta3 download. The reason for this is that we do make changes from time to time on that control, changes that do not necesserly work with older FCKEditor resources etc.

There are three methods to obtain the FCKEditor resources:

a) Each install of Professional studio of Visual WebGui 6.4 installs the Companion kit on "C:\Program Files\Gizmox\Visual WebGUI\CompanionKit\3.5" (or the x86 folder on a 64bit machines). Inside of that folder you should find the fckeditor folder.

b) Download and install Catalog and find the FCKEditor folder inside of the Catalog source

c) Install Professional studio "with sources", where you should be able to find the FCKEditor folder inside of either the CompanionKit's folder or the Gizmox.WebGui.Forms.Catalog's folder.

d) Obtain your copy through SVN, in which case you would use an SVN client like Tortoise SVN and browse to http://72.55.165.182/svn/Public/Core/branches/6.4.0B3 for NET3.5 version of Beta3. Please see more info on the Wiki here.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Hi malmhead,

Glad you found your solutinon and thanks for confirming.

I do not know your order of events here, but this sounds like this might be caused by a version difference for the FCKEditor.BasePath. Between 6.3.x and 6.4.x, there is a difference in the number of "/..". When you move your application between 6.3.x and 6.4.x, you both have to switch the fckeditor resource folder, as well as adjusting the Basepath.

I just added a small note on this in the Wiki article about what you need to do when upgrading to version 6.4.
