A new version of the AJAX Control Toolkit is now available for download from the CodePlex website: http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/

This new version of the AJAX Control Toolkit contains three new controls:

• HTML Editor - This highly customizable HTML Editor enables users to enter and format text. For example, you can create bold, underlined, or italic text. You also can specify font type and size. The HTML Editor supports both a Design and HTML mode.

• ComboBox - The ComboBox control is a combination between a DropDownList control and a TextBox control. The ComboBox enables you to select from a pre-existing list of options. It also enables you to enter a new option that is not included in the list.

• ColorPicker - The ColorPicker control displays a dialog that enables users to select a color from a palette of colors. You can display the color picker when focused is moved to a TextBox. Alternatively, you can create a button that displays the color picker.

The ASP.NET website has been updated with new videos and tutorials for these controls. Visit www.asp.net/ajax to view all of the new tutorials.

This new release also includes fixes for more than 20 of the most voted bugs in existing AJAX Control Toolkit controls.
