Bind TxtFormatProvider?

[Kirk Quinbar]

I've seen examples of how to bind in xaml the richtextbox to the htmlformatprovider and the xamlformatprovider, but is it possible to bind to the txtformatprovider? I cannot find any example of this so i am hoping you can provide one?

Hello Kirk Quinbar,
Thank you for bringing this up. Unfortunately, there is a bug in Q2 SP1 version that breaks binding.
This is will be fixed in the next LIB.
After getting the new version, the approach will be the same as with the other data providers:

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:documentTxt="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Txt;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <documentTxt:TxtDataProvider x:Key="txtDataProvider"
            RichTextBox="{Binding ElementName=radRichTextBox1}"
            Text="{Binding ElementName=textBox1, Path=Text, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <telerik:RadRichTextBox Grid.Row="1" Name="radRichTextBox1" />
        <TextBox Name="textBox1" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Until then you can use the TxtFormatProvider in the code behind to load/save text document and handle the RadRichTextBox.DocumentContentChanged event to persist changes back. We are sorry for the inconvenience. The points in your account have been updated. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

lol i probably just missed a description elsewhere but what does LIB mean? I keep hearing that used and assume it just means the next interim release, but didnt know official name.

when is the next release or how often are they?

Hi Kirk Quinbar,

LIB is an acronym for Latest Internal Build - these are builds that we produce usually every Friday (at least for RadControls for Silverlight). They contain the latest usable features and are suitable for cutting-edge development, but still not stable enough for production. They should be available in Telerik account downloads.
Feel free to get back to us if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
Ivailo
