ASP.NET Server Control.

[jlewis]

I currently use your TxText 9.1 Control for windows applications. Currently we are designing a web application in .NET using C#. We are trying to use the server control to translate the TxText control format to RTF so that we can translate that into HTML. I have downloaded the Server control and am trying to use it in C# and am getting a catestrophic failure. Any ideas why?

Hello

May I ask how you use the TX Text Control OCX Server in C# in detail?

Anyway I fixed the problem with the Catastrophic error in .NEt. I was casting the wrong class. However, a few comments about the threading model for the server control.

Threading model:
Currently this server control uses apartment threading. This means that I can only use this functionality inside of a web page with "aspcmp" set to true. What I would like to do is use it in my .NET class library which is my middle tier. I am building a 3 tiered application and my middle tier handles all of the data loading etc. I do not want to mix this with my User Interface for many reasons. Therefore, I want to be able to use the funtionality of the Tx Control in that middle tier which is not a web page but a class library.

I guess my questions is do you think that you guys will every convert the TX Functionality to something in a .NET class library or at least a free threaded server control? Perhaps I am wrong but I do see a large market for this as the .NET movement start to pick up speed.

I for one use your control in a VB application and find it very useful. However not that I have my data in the TX Format I need to be able to read that format in my .NET applications.

If the answer to my questions is no time soon, then is there any way I could get a document explaining your "TX Text Control" format so that I can do the conversion myself.
