Which export/Import to use?

[Joël]

Here, I store the contents of my RadRichTextBox in my database.

For storage I must thus use an export. And, for displaying an importation.

I use all the functions suggested by your RadRichTextBox, primarily:
- MergeField
- Tables
- Image

The concern, it is that according to the provider used, I lose one or more information, has to know:
- DocxProvider, I loses the size of the tables and I lose the style of MergeField
- RtfProvider, I loses MergeField
- XamlProvider, if I use MergeField I have an error message at the time of the importation “Boat create Telerik.Windows.Documents.Modele…”

I would prefer not to use RtfProvider, indeed, it stock the images with format BMP and that takes too much place.

Could you indicate good walk to me to be followed?

In fact, my error message at the time of the Xaml importation, is due to my custom MergeField, apparently, the importation does not manage to find the type.

Apparently, Xaml import/export is best succeeded. I checked in the file Xaml, the bug comes owing to the fact that export regards my CustomDataField as being part of the assembly "xmlns: T =Telerik.Windows.Controls" but it is not the case.

I created a function which corrects, by adding my assembly and by prefixing my CustomDataField correctly, and I do not have any more a bug.

Hi Laurent,
This is known issue with custom CodeBasedFields, which are not correctly exported to XAML. It is already added in our to-do list and we will try to fix it for some of the next releases.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Boby
the Telerik team

No worries, in the meantime I'm pass the string Xaml in a tool that corrects the xmlns & my CustomDataField's tags.
