    I try to bind a RadRichTextBox via DocxDataProvider to a byte buffer in my ViewModel. However I run into a NullReferenceException. This happens during initialization (Docx property, BindingState: UpdatingSource) before any relevant part of my code is executed.

    This is how I set up the DocxDataProvider:

    <telerikDocx:DocxDataProvider x:Name="docxProvider"
                          Docx="{Binding Buffer, Mode=TwoWay}"
                          RichTextBox="{Binding ElementName=radRichTextBox}"
                          SetupDocument="docxProvider_OnSetupDocument">
    </telerikDocx:DocxDataProvider>

    The Buffer is defined as:

    private byte[] _buffer;
    public byte[] Buffer
    {
        get
        {
            return this._buffer;
        }
        set
        {
            this._buffer = value;
            this.RaisePropertyChanged(() => Buffer);
        }
    }

    I just load the view, set the DataContext to my ViewModel and that's all. When I set a breakpoint on the binding expression I can see that "Buffer" has the value of byte[0]. StackTrace says this happens at Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.BinaryDataProviderBase.UpdateBytes()

    I am really stuck with this problem and don't know how to solve it.

    Regards
    Neils

    Hello Neils,

    I am not sure what might be the problem. Please find attached a project demonstrating how binding can be implemented using DocxDataProvider.

    In case this does not help, please share some more details on your setup or even better, open a support ticket and send us a sample project we can use for troubleshooting.

    Let us know how it goes.

    All the best,
