TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms allows developers to create true WYSIWYG word processors that offer all the formatting capabilities and user-interface comfort found in desktop-based big-brand word processors, directly in the end-users's browser.
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms browser based applications consist of two distinct parts: 1) Browser application part, 2) Server application part.
The browser application part runs in the end-user's web browser, while the server application part runs on Internet Information Server. The only requirements for the end-user's PC are that a) Microsoft Internet Explorer is used and b) the .NET Framework is installed.
The word processor itself runs in the browser application part, while the server is used as a deployment vehicle and for file I/O. i.e. when files are loaded into and save by the browser-based word processor.
The browser application part exchanges data with the server using .NET Remoting. Using standard .NET Remoting protocols, a channel is simply constructed that allows the exchange of data between the two parts of the application.
This inter-application exchange is transparent to the end-user. For example, when a server-based document is loaded into the browser-based word processing application, data is exchanged via this channel.
Similarly, when an end-user saves a document in the browser, the data is automatically transported back to the server part of the application, where it can be stored, or be subject to a number of post-processing processes.
This feature is available or partially available in the following TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms products:
