Question

Can anybody cast some light on this for me, I have a RichTextBox which im loading an xaml file into it. I need to Replace certain Parts of the RichTxtBox’s text with real data i.e. ‘[our_name]’ is replaced with ‘Billie Brags’. My xaml file contains formatting like bold & font size.

When I run my code (shown below) I can change the text OK but im loosing the formatting.

Any idea how I can do this and keep the formatting?

Thank you

            FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            using (fs)
            {
                TextRange RTBText = new TextRange(rtb_wording.Document.ContentStart, rtb_wording.Document.ContentEnd);
                RTBText.Load(fs, DataFormats.Xaml);
            }



        TextRange tr = new TextRange(rtb_wording.Document.ContentStart, rtb_wording.Document.ContentEnd);
        string rtbContent = tr.Text;
        rtbContent = rtbContent.Replace("<our_name>", "Billie Brags");
        System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(rtbContent);

        FlowDocument myFlowDoc = new FlowDocument();

        // Add paragraphs to the FlowDocument
        myFlowDoc.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run(rtbContent)));
        rtb_wording.Document = myFlowDoc;

Its working, this is how I did it in the end, not too pretty but it functions. WPF RTB really should have rtf property like winforms…

Thanks to Kent for putting me on the right track.

            var textRange = new TextRange(rtb_wording.Document.ContentStart, rtb_wording.Document.ContentEnd);
            string rtf;
            using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                textRange.Save(memoryStream, DataFormats.Rtf);
                rtf = ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetString(memoryStream.ToArray());
            }

            rtf = rtf.Replace("<our_name>", "Bob Cratchet");

            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetBytes(rtf));
            rtb_wording.SelectAll();
            rtb_wording.Selection.Load(stream, DataFormats.Rtf);
