RichTextBox Import/Export to Word

[Raphael]

Hi everybody!

I'm using the richtextbox in my silverlight application to allow the users create word documents,but I have a problem.

I get export and save the document in my database on byte array format and when I recover it I need to open this in Word, but when I recover the text I'm only getting the text of the document and I need to recover the styles too.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi Raphael,

We offer different format and data providers for importing and exporting rich document content. We support import from and export to Xaml, Docx and Html and export to Pdf.
If you are using Txt format or data provider, however, the text will get stripped of all formatting.
You can find more information on the usage of the providers in our help section. Check it out and let us know if you need further assistance.

All the best,
Iva

Hi Iva,

I'm using DocxFormatProvider but when I'm trying to recover this information on VSTO I'm not getting the styles only the text.

Do you anything about it?

Thanks.

Hello Raphael,

You can try opening the exported files with Microsoft Word. If the formatting appears there, then the problem lies outside RadRichTextBox's exporting API.
If you are still unable to fix the problem, I'd suggest reading through the help articles (also available online) on RadRichTextBox as they will most probably cast some insight as how the format providers and import/export API works.
If you believe this is a bug with DocxFormatProvider, please open a support ticket / bug report, preferably including a demo project which shows the undesired behavior.
Contact us if you need any further assistance.

Sincerely yours,
