<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication27.UserControl1"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

                                              RichTextBox="{Binding ElementName=editor}" 
                                     />
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <telerik:RadRichTextBox x:Name="editor"/>
        <TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" Name="source" Grid.Column="1"/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Hello kfir ANKORI,

There is nothing wrong in your code. In fact it works perfectly when run in Silverlight. The problem here is that you've placed the format provider in UserControl's resources. This would be the approach in Silverlight, but here in WPF the format provider has to be present in the visual tree for the binding to work. This is due to a limitation in WPF, where bindings with ElementName don't work when specified within the resources.
So everything you have to do is just move it somewhere in the Grid.
If you meet any other difficulties, feel free to contact us immediately.

I have a performance problem while using RichTextBox in HTML formating
The HTML data is stored as a string. I binded the data as in your sample, it works but very slowly
and while drawing data all the aaplication is stuck.
The situation become worse in case the html string contains png/image/picture

Do you have any good idea how to improve the performance
best regards, dafna
