Package Reference

<PackageReference Include="SpiceLogic.HtmlEditor.WPF" />

Quick Start

XAML

<Window xmlns:wpfHtmlEditor="clr-namespace:SpiceLogic.WpfHtmlEditor;assembly=SpiceLogic.HtmlEditor.WPF"
        Title="My Editor" Height="600" Width="900">
    <Grid>
        <wpfHtmlEditor:WpfHtmlEditor x:Name="HtmlEditor1" Margin="10" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Code-Behind

C#

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // Set initial content
        HtmlEditor1.BodyHtml = "<p>Hello <strong>World</strong>!</p>";
    }

    private void SaveDocument()
    {
        string html = HtmlEditor1.DocumentHtml;
        File.WriteAllText("output.html", html);
    }
}

VB.NET

Class MainWindow

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()

        ' Set initial content
        HtmlEditor1.BodyHtml = "<p>Hello <strong>World</strong>!</p>"
    End Sub

    Private Sub SaveDocument()
        Dim html As String = HtmlEditor1.DocumentHtml
        File.WriteAllText("output.html", html)
    End Sub

End Class

MVVM Data Binding

<wpfHtmlEditor:WpfHtmlEditor BodyHtml="{Binding MyHtmlContent, Mode=TwoWay}" />

License Key

Set the license key once at application startup, before any WpfHtmlEditor instance is created. The recommended location is App.xaml.cs (or Application.xaml.vb for VB.NET), inside an OnStartup override, so the key is in place for every window in the application:

C#

// App.xaml.cs
public partial class App : Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        SpiceLogic.WpfHtmlEditor.WpfHtmlEditor.LicenseKey = "YOUR LICENSE KEY HERE";
        base.OnStartup(e);
    }
}

VB.NET

' Application.xaml.vb
Class Application

    Protected Overrides Sub OnStartup(e As StartupEventArgs)
        SpiceLogic.WpfHtmlEditor.WpfHtmlEditor.LicenseKey = "YOUR LICENSE KEY HERE"
        MyBase.OnStartup(e)
    End Sub

End Class

If LicenseKey is not set, the control runs in a 14-day trial mode. A purchased key can be obtained from your SpiceLogic customer account.

AI assistant integration (MCP server)

SpiceLogic publishes an official Model Context Protocol server for this control, among the first from a .NET UI vendor. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot at it and your assistant can look up a real property or event, pull an actual documentation page, or grab a snippet that compiles today, instead of guessing from stale training data.

You do not have to set it up first. Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot in agent mode and the assistant connects itself, then builds the integration:

First connect yourself to the SpiceLogic documentation server so you work from the
real API instead of memory. In Claude Code run: claude mcp add --transport http
spicelogic-wpf-editor https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf . In VS Code or
Cursor, create .vscode/mcp.json with an http server named spicelogic-wpf-editor
pointing at that URL and start it. Then check that the SpiceLogic tools actually
respond. If they do not, tell me to restart the session and stop there rather than
writing code from memory.

Once the tools respond, add a WYSIWYG HTML editor to my WPF app: install the
SpiceLogic.HtmlEditor.WPF NuGet package, host the editor in the main window so it
fills the window, bind its HTML two way to a view model property, add a Save button
that writes the HTML to a file, then build and run it.

Every client gates a newly added MCP server behind a restart or a trust prompt, which is why the prompt tells the assistant to stop rather than fall back to guesswork. The endpoint is scoped to WPF, so a WPF question can never be answered with WinForms' API. See https://mcp.spicelogic.com for the tool list and per-client setup.
