Joomla article uploader in VB.net (1166751)

I need a VB.net application which will contain a WYSIWYG editor. Assume that it will have direct access to MySQL db over the internet and users will have FTP username/passwords to required folders for uploading images etc. This application will; - Allow user to prepare his article in WYSIWYG editor on the VB form (this editor may be a free/GPL or built-in, commonly used one if any) - Allow user to select section / category / caption and alias - Allow user to easily upload and view/preview his image(s) with his article - Limit user to upload max number of articles and max. image size for security/performance issues. ## Deliverables There should be no "invalid character" issues (UTF8 compatible) Compatibility with Joomla version 1.5 is required but 1.0 is a plus of course. MySQL DB should also have no characters problem (UTF8) Please correct me if I request sth. doesn't make sense.
