RichTextBox now here i m not able to get simple senario where i can simply bind or assign my string to radrichtextbox and how i can retrive its value actully i hav used radribbon i dont want save button and all those stuff i only need font tab so i used only that much
but now i dont know wht to do next i m not getting single help or document which will taught me that how to assign value instead of document or xml ?

Hello Parthiv,

Importing and exporting plain text (a simple string) to and from RadRichTextBox can be achieved in the same manner as the more complicated HTML, XAML, etc. formats. The most straightforward way to do this would be

radRichTextBox.Document = new TxtFormatProvider().Import(myString);

where myString would be a variable of type string which would be imported as plain text.
More generally, importing from plain text is done through the TxtFormatProvider or, declaratively, through the TxtDataProvider. I have posted above the best way to utilize the first, and you can find more details on the second here (using the TxtDataProvider will allow you to avoid any code-behind and implement the entire functionality in XAML). While the data provider is most useful when used together with Silverlight's bindings, a simple string can be assigned to the Text property if that is what you want.
Which one of those two approaches will be more appropriate for you depends on your specific use case.

Iread following articIe:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radrichtextbox-how-to-binding-to-data-providers.html

I dont know why but I am not able to use HtmlDataProvider because there is no HtmlDataProvider class in Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Html. There is only HtmlFormatProvider but HtmlFormatProvider doesnt have RitchTextBox property. 

Can you please help me how to resolve this problem? 

Thank you.

[Ivailo Karamanolev]

Hi ss,

The only reason for you to be unable to find HtmlDataProvider might be if you're using an older version of Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Html.dll. Please check, and I'd recommend replace, your assembly and make sure it's Q2 SP1. Additionally, you can also try the LIB and see if it makes any difference.
Also, please note that the namespace Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Html exists in two assemblies - Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll and the above mentioned Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Html.dll. The class you're searching for is inside the latter.
Don't hesitate to contact us if your problems persist.

No matter what I do I can not find the namespace Telerik.Windows.Documents and hence can not declare radDocuments nor the text provider. I have winforms 2012 Q3 and don't see any .dlls with windows in it. The only .dlls are the .WinControls ones.

Hi Marvin,

Thank you for writing.

Please note that the current forum thread concerns RichTextBox for Silverlight. I kindly ask you to post questions regarding RichTextBox for WinForms in the appropriate forum: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/richtextbox.aspx.

Thank you for your cooperation.
