Configure the Rich Text Editor control to work with a database.

Rich Text Editor for ASP.NET Web Forms - How to save/load documents to/from a database

This example demonstrates how to configure the Rich Text Editor control to work with a database.

Load a document from a database as a byte array and pass it to the control's Open(String, DocumentFormat, Func<Byte[]>) method overload to open the document in the Rich Text Editor. The Open(String, DocumentFormat, Func<Stream>) method overload allows you to open a document loaded from the database as a stream.

The Saving event occurs when you call the Save method or a user clicks the built-in Save or SaveAs command in the Ribbon UI. To save changes, handle the Saving event and update the data source.
