In Visual Studio 2022, create a new project by choosing *Create a new project*. 2. Select *ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)* as the project template and confirm with *Next*. 3. Choose a name for your project, select *.NET Framework 4.8* as the *Framework* and confirm with *Create*. 4.

Welcome to Text Control

"; } @Html.TXTextControl().TextControl(settings => { settings.UserNames = new string[] { "Tim Typer" }; }).LoadText(sDocument, TXTextControl.Web.StringStreamType.HTMLFormat).Render() ``` > **Trial Access Token Users** > > In case you are using a **Trial Access Token**, replace the content with the following code. > > ``` > @using TXTextControl.Web.MVC > > @Html.TXTextControl().TextControl(settings => { > settings.WebSocketURL = "wss://backend.textcontrol.com/api/TXWebSocket?access-token=addYourTokenHere" > > }).Render() > ``` > > Replace *addYourTokenHere* with your actual **Trial Access Token**.
