Format providers for richtexteditor

[nisim]

Hello!

I'm currently working on a project which uses the Telerik libraries for winforms, and richtexteditor in particular

I've noticed a few things after dealing with a problem I had with the format providers:

1.There are 3 types of FormatProviders libraries:

Telerik.Winforms.Documnets.Formatproviders

Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.FormatProviders

Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.FormatProviders

I work with richtexteditor so the second one won't apply. But, when I tried to use the 3rd one it gave me an error when trying to export/import:

The best overload method match for 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Common.FormatProviders.FormatProviderBase<Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument>.Export(Telerik.Windows.Documents.Flow.Model.RadFlowDocument, System.IO.Stream) has some invalid arguments'

 

I decided to work with the first library for Format Provider. However, when trying to export .docx documents with pictures or hyperlinkes in them, it throws this exception:

 'System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException' occured in mscorlib.dll'

Additional information: The given key was not present in the dictionary

 

 Any solution?

 

Thank you,

Nisim

Hi Nisim,

Thank you for writing.

In order to take advantage of the exporting functionalities, you would need to use the following namespace: Telerik.WinForms.Documents.FormatProviders.

I am sending you attached an example project loading a .docx file in RadRichTextEditor and exporting it as HTML. Using the same approach you could import and export documents in the other formats as well. Please also check the following documentation article: RadRichTextEditor | Import\Export.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
