Get word count

[paul]

I have a RichTextBox bound via a DocxDataProvider. 

I'm able to get the wordcount via the StatisticsInfo object.

Wondered if I have the RichTextBox content in a byte array, can I convert this to a readable string ?

Unable to figure out the encoding.

Thanks in advance

Hello Paul,

If I understand you correctly you would like to count the words yourself. In order to get the document as a string, you could use the TxtFormatProvider. Here is example of how this could be done:

TxtFormatProvider txt = new TxtFormatProvider();
string documentAsText = txt.Export(this.radRichTextBox.Document);

I can recommend you the Import\Export help article where all of the available format providers are described.
