System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox MyRichTextbox = new
System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox();

base.Controls.Add(MyRichTextbox);

And I get an error:
cannot convert from 'System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox' to
'System.Web.UI.Control'

I understand the error, but this is even from a sample from the SDK. Any
ideas on how I get a RichTextBox onto my webpage? Thanks...

Windows form controls are totally different from Web controls. You can't add
a windows form control like you're trying. You may want to look for a rich
text editor developed as a web server control.
