Hi Everyone,

I am converting from a Filemaker application to VB.NET/Oracle and the
question that the user has a TEXT BOX where the user is able to
highlight, color, underline, etc. the text.

What I am seeing is RTF is the best option for VB/ASP.NET but where I
am stuck is how to save/retrieve/update the RTF text in Oracle ?

If anyone has any experience, ideas for this I'd really appreciate
hearing from you

Sincerely

You've got the wrong newsgroup.

Look for something with .net in the title.

Hi Geroge,

I'd doubt you'd want "RTF" if this is a web page.  Probably best to ask
about this in one of the ASP.NET newsgroups such as :

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Getting the text from Orcale shouldn't be hard as it is still just text even
if it is RTF or HTML.  But I think the first thing you need to do is sort
out if you are using RTF or HTML.  I would think the later, but folks in the
asp.net newsgroup would be the best to ask.

Hi George,

there should be no problem to use Oracle from ASP.NET. The best start
is probably to look into .NET Developer Center at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/index.html where you can
find some useful tutorials describes how you can build ASP.NET web
applications that access Oracle Database

For example, Building ASP.NET Web Applications with Oracle Developer
Tools for Visual Studio
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/dotnet/asp/asp_otn.htm

Hope this helps.
