HtmlFormatProvider in console application

[Gerrit Fölster]

Hi Telerik Team,

I'm trying to use the Wpf HtmlFormatProvider (Version 3/12) in a console application. 

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    HtmlFormatProvider htmlProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
    try
    {
         RadDocument doc = htmlProvider.Import(htmlString);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {

    }
}

When the input html is malformed the FormatProvider throws an exception on a different thread
which is crashing the application. 

Is there any workaround for this?

Hello Gerrit ,

The problem is the there is no instance of Application and the resources of Telerik.Windows.Documents are not accessible. Creating a new instance will fix the problem.

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (Application.Current == null)
    {
        new Application();
    }

    HtmlFormatProvider htmlProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
    RadDocument doc = null;
    try
    {
        string a = "<img src=\"text:text:text.,text;; text text\" />";
        doc = htmlProvider.Import(a);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    }

}

If you have further questions feel free to contact us again.
