loading standard xaml

[Laura]

I am trying to load a standard xaml file into the RichTextBox and I am getting an exception when I do the import function.  The exception I am getting is:
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument' to type 'Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.RadDocument'."

The file I am trying to import is:
 

<FlowDocument
  xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'
  xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>
  <Paragraph FontFamily="Calibri" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="24">
    WPF Flow Documents</Paragraph>
  <Paragraph>WPF Flow Documents are <Italic>quite sophisticated</Italic>.
    They support all common layout options, as well as many you probably
    do <Span Foreground="Red">not expect</Span>.</Paragraph>
  <List>
    <ListItem><Paragraph>First List Item</Paragraph></ListItem>
    <ListItem><Paragraph>Second List Item</Paragraph></ListItem>
    <ListItem><Paragraph>Third List Item</Paragraph></ListItem>
  </List>
  <Paragraph>Of course, Flow Documents also support the definition
    of <Bold><Span FontFamily="Comic Sans MS" FontSize="24"
    Foreground="Blue">in line</Span></Bold> font sizes and font faces.
  </Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>

 

My code is:

FileStream

 

 

xamlInStream = new FileStream(@"C:\testimport.xaml",FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read);

 

 

 

 

XamlFormatProvider xamlFormatProvider = new XamlFormatProvider();

 

 

 

RadDocument radDocument = xamlFormatProvider.Import(xamlInStream);

 

 

editor.Document = radDocument;

What do I need to do to open standard xaml files.  Also, I noticed that when documents are saved as xaml documents the file format is of a RadDocument, is there a way to get a standard FlowDocument from the text box?

Hi Laura,

I see the XAML you are trying to import into RadRichTextBox is MS RichTextBox specific, and that's the reason why the XamlFormatProvider won't do the job. If this is the XAML you want to import you can use our Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.MsRichTextBoxXaml. This is a provider, which we introduced in our Q1 2011 Beta, that can convert the XAML from MS RichTextBox to RadDocument and vice versa.
If you have other question do not hesitate to contact us.

All the best,

I can't find the MsRichTextBoxXaml provider in the Q1 2011 release. Was it removed?

Hello Oliver Weichhold,

The MsRichTextBoxXaml is currently only available for Silverlight. We might also introduce it for WPF, but there is nothing specific about that yet.
