Question

I have a xml code:

<Paragraph>Download it directly to the <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://itunes.apple.com/fi/app/goalapp/id502461189?ls=1&mt=8">iTunes Store</Hyperlink> or <Hyperlink NavigateUri="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.strikersoft.meramal.se">Android Market</Hyperlink>. The application is launched for Swedish app store.</Paragraph>

richTextBox.Xaml = xml;

But in this case I have an error, so how correctly set xaml to RichTextBox in Windows Phone?

Update

Answer 1

Basic Usage or the RichTextBox based on the code posted:

<RichTextBox 
    Width="400" Height="400" 
    Background="Transparent" 
    BorderBrush="White" 
    BorderThickness="3">
    <Paragraph>Download it directly to the 
        <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://itunes.apple.com/fi/app/goalapp/id502461189?ls=1&amp;mt=8" TargetName="_blank">iTunes Store</Hyperlink> 
        or <Hyperlink NavigateUri="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.strikersoft.meramal.se" TargetName="_blank">Android Market</Hyperlink>. 
        The application is launched for Swedish app store.
    </Paragraph>
</RichTextBox>

Note: when creating URL’s, the URL must be encoded, i.e., when using ampersands (&) in a URL, they should be created as & and the NavigateUri needs the TargetName="_blank" attribute added to open in the browser.

Edit

When setting the XAML property in code, the xml namespace needs to be included in the xml. Wrap the entire xml block (and be sure to encode the URL as noted above) in a Section node:

<Section 
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">
  <Paragraph>
    Download it directly to the
    <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://itunes.apple.com/fi/app/goalapp/id502461189?ls=1&amp;mt=8" TargetName="_blank">iTunes Store</Hyperlink>
    or <Hyperlink NavigateUri="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.strikersoft.meramal.se" TargetName="_blank">Android Market</Hyperlink>.
    The application is launched for Swedish app store.
  </Paragraph>
</Section>

In the code behind, make sure the XML is a string, i.e.,:

var xml = XDocument.Load("MyDoc.xml");
richTextBox.Xaml = xml.ToString();
