Can't update textbox in TinyMCE
- by Michael Tot Korsgaard
I'm using TinyMCE, the text area is replaced with a TextBox, but when I try to update the database with the new text from my textbox, it wont update. Can anyone help me?
My code looks like this
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Main.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test_TinyMCE._default" ValidateRequest="false" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({

});
</script>

</div>
</asp:Content>
My codebhind looks like this
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace Test_TinyMCE
{
public partial class _default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text = Database.GetFirst().Text;
}
protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Database.Update(Database.GetFirst().ID, TextBox1.Text);
TextBox1.Text = Database.GetFirst().Text;
}
}
}
And finally the "Database" class im using looks like this
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
namespace Test_TinyMCE
{
public class Database
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public static void Update(int ID, string Text)
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DatabaseConnection"]);
connection.Open();
try
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Update Text set Text=@text where ID=@id");
command.Connection = connection;
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("id", ID));
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("text", Text));
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
finally
{
connection.Close();
}
}
public static Database GetFirst()
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DatabaseConnection"]);
connection.Open();
try
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Select Top 1 ID, Text from Text order by ID asc");
command.Connection = connection;
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
if (reader.Read())
{
Database item = new Database();
item.ID = reader.GetInt32(0);
item.Text = reader.GetString(1);
return item;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
finally
{
connection.Close();
}
}
}
}
I really hope that someone out there can help me
