Question

Can you load the XAML and read it back as RTF? – Hopeless

You mean the FlowDocuments generated by WPF's RichTextBox? Is HTML an option, too? – Outrush

@Botz3000: no WPF please just Silverlight, many WPF features don't work in Silverlight :( – Jasperjaspers

@Gabe: i have the Xaml as text/string yes and now i need to convert it to rtf – Jasperjaspers

I don't think the Silverlight RTB uses RTF. It sounds like you're saving RTF on a server, so can you send the XAML to the server and use a WPF RTB on the server to load the XAML and read out the RTF? – Hopeless

Answer 1

@Gabe:The WPF RTB does NOT support all the classes defined in SL, so if you try to convert a xaml string generated by SL RTB to a rtf string in a WPF RTB, an System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException exception may be thrown!

hmmm interesting isn't Silverlight subset of WPF? – Jasperjaspers

@peplamb we may say SL is a simplified version of WPF, but in fact they run in totally deferent frameworks (SL-runtime and .net framework). the codes in SL are rewritten and PATTERNED ON WPF. – Tymon

Answer 2

Did you try NRTFTree? This is a .net lib which can build RTF check it in codeplex. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/nrtftree.aspx
