Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place, I wasn't sure which sub-category was appropriate.

Basically I have a client moving from another system and they have thousands of RadDocuments in there database stored in Xaml and I need to be able to convert them to DocX format.

I thought this would be a simple process but I have hot a wall.

As a test I created a simple WinForm app with the following code:

1.var xaml = textBox1.Text;

2.var xamlProvider = new XamlFormatProvider();

3.var radDoc = xamlProvider.Import(xaml);

However, this throws an exception on the third line:

Cannot create unknown type '{clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents}RadDocument'.

Here is the Xaml I'm trying to import:

<t:RadDocument xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:t="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents" xmlns:s="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Styles;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents" xmlns:r="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Revisions;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents" xmlns:n="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Notes;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents" xmlns:th="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Themes;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Documents" version="1.2" LayoutMode="Paged" LineSpacing="1" LineSpacingType="Auto" ParagraphDefaultSpacingAfter="0" ParagraphDefaultSpacingBefore="0" SelectedBibliographicStyleName="\APA.XSL" StyleName="defaultDocumentStyle">

Hello Richard,

Thank you for contacting us.

The document was created with the RichTextBox from our WPF suite. documents created with this control are not usable with the RadRichtextEditor for WinForms. So in this case, you will need to create a WPF application and convert the files with it.

The file cannot be imported because of the "&" character in the following line:

<t:Span FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="16" Text=" & Pensions" />

In order, this to work you should remove this character or escape it: SecurityElement.Escape Method (String) (System.Security)

I hope this will be useful.
