It is possible to use WebTextEditor to read data from ISDataSource. We already provide some database sample with WebTextEditor, however it is still using AccessDataSource. Attached is the modified SaveAndLoadToDatabase page using ISDataSource.

Thanks for your reply.

This is not exactly what I’m looking for.

I want to manage it from the client side as we usually do for the other controls, so I mean I want to bind the control to a datasource instead of loading it from the server side.

Unforunately, databinding feature in TextEditor only available in Mail Merge scenario right now. In order to load content from database, you will need to use the server side function as shown in the attached sample or the provided sample.

Edit 09/30/2010:

The WebTextEditor developer wishes to add some information, client side function to load content to WebTextEditor is already available using function SetValue. A sample have been provided on the page SetValueFromClientSide.aspx and SetValueOnSpecificSection.aspx.

However, in order to load the content from the database you still need to use server side function. 

Well, you may consider this as an important missing feature for future releases!

Based on my further discussion with the developer, the WebTextEditor must be contained in a control that allow datasource binding such as FormView to allow WebTextEditor binding with data source, as demonstrated in IntegrationToFormView.aspx.

The developers line of thinking is they usually expect a collection of row when returning data from a database so the WebTextEditor will need to be contained in collection container control that allow template..
