load word file (.docx) in richtextbox

Question

I was already able to load a .docx file into my wpf application but it doesn\'t seem to show up in my richtextbox:

if (openFile.ShowDialog() == true)
{
     // O         


        

Answer 1

That code shouldn't compile, RichTextBox.Document is of type FlowDocument, and you are assigning it to a string.

Maybe you should look for ways to convert a .docx file to a FlowDocument you can assign to the RichTextBox.

There is a popular tool you can use which is called: Word to XAML

Another options are:

• OpenXML + FlowDocument = OpenFlowDocument?
• Show Word file in WPF
