Save RadDocument in the native format

[Emin Sadigov]

Hello,

I want to store RadDocument object in the database table as byte[]. Is any way do that?

(I don`t want to use export/import, because seems it is not export all data (ex. don`t export "tracking changes", etc)).

Hi Emin,

We tried to import and export a DOCX document containing revisions (tracking changes) using the DocxFormatProvider and XamlFormatProvider and they were successfully exported, so you can use one of these format providers to export the RadDocument to a byte array.

Using the XamlFormatProvider:

private void ExportDocumentToByteArray(RadDocument document)
{
	DocumentFormatProviderBase provider = new XamlFormatProvider();
	byte[] output = provider.Export(document);
}

Using the DocxFormatProvider:

private void ExportDocumentToByteArray(RadDocument document)
{
	var provider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Docx.DocxFormatProvider();
	byte[] output = provider.Export(document);
}

In case you are observing something that is not successfully exported, please let us know in order to log it in our backlog and investigate the case.

I hope you find this information helpful. Please, let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.
