text content interface/component/control?

i wish to create a interface for my client to enter their news/announcement.
I've seen forums that has very nice interface that allow you click on
buttons such as "Bold", "Italic", "Underline", "URL", etc. How do i create
such interface? Or is there such a component? Within dreamweaver? How should
i go about developing such a interface? Thanks.Michael wrote:

Take a look and see if http://www.freetextbox.com/ has what you need.

Text Image Component

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a 3rd party component that
facilitates the creation of text images. I know I can "roll my own" but was
not wanting to reinvent the wheel. I searched www.asp.net and google, but
didn't find anything other than how-to articles.
Thanks!There was some good example code of a simple text/image component in
the book Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Server Controls and Components. I
believe the source code used is freely available at the website.

Actually, that would be in the companion content section.

Text Search component

Can anyone recommend a good component For adding a search feature to a
website that will search the text in a database

Thanks in advance

JohnWhy can't you build it yourself?
It's very easy - but there are multiple considerations that a single
component could never narrow down...
First, you need to decide which field(s) you are searching. You can use a
DropDownList or TextBox

Then, you need to decide how you want to display the results. You could use
a Grid, or a customized way of displaying, say, like a DataList - -

The rest is just connecting to the dabase, querying the database and
retrieving the results, basically.

Is there something you're looking for that's different than what I've
described here?

Hi David
Thanks for the help
I would want to be able to search the database for specific strings like you
do in a standard search engine so the user could search for exact string
matches or keywords.

I could set up most of what you have talked about but I imagine you would
need to use some advanced regular expressions and I wouldn't know where to
begin
