TinyMCE is an excellent full featured and well documented web editor that we can use in our web applications. But, integration with ASP.NET MVC 5 (as part of the ASP.NET Boilerplate technology stack) may be tricky to accomplish. When you set up the file upload plugin in TinyMCE, you have to consider the ASP.NET MVC 5 anti-forgery system. Otherwise, HTTP requests may fail loading resources to server due to an invalid or empty anti-forgery token error. This is a security and technology concern that can run out your time if you don't know about it. This article explains how this mechanism works and shows some solutions in an ASP.NET Boilerplate application.
