I have a course work for which I have to make a (as advanced as possible) WYSIWYG web page editor in VB.NET (2010). It should have a visual editor with drag-drop support for several elements such as anchors, images, tables etc., and it should generate HTML based on that structure.

I don’t know where to begin though.. I have some experience with vb.net, I made a tabbed notepad vaguely following a tutorial, but I don’t know how to make this drag-drop thingy in a richtextbox.

I’ve searched for a tutorial, but most of them are just too simple – a text editor with browser control rendering the HTML.. I found one really nice and advanced, but it’s in german 😐

So, if anyone knows any resources / tutorials I could use to start things I’ll appreciate it.

    I won’t start with a richtextbox. Do you want to realize it in WPF or Forms (I would recommend WPF)?

    In WPF there is relative simple a Drag-And-Drop behavior for elements (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-en/library/ms742859.aspx).

    I would start with some simple elements (e.g. TextBoxes) and drag-drop them from some sort of toolbox onto a grid with fixed columns and rows (and later use a canvas). And then generate the HTML-Code from that.
