Hi,
I want make a notepad. But I have problem with function Open file. This is my code:

private void MenuItem_Click_Open(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            FlowDocument myFlowDoc = new FlowDocument();

            OpenFileDialog opf = new OpenFileDialog();

            opf.Filter = filtr;

            if (opf.ShowDialog() == true)
            {
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(opf.FileName);
                FlowDocument doc = XamlReader.Parse(sr.ReadToEnd()) as FlowDocument;
                richTextBox1.Document = doc;
                this.Title = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(opf.FileName);
                sr.Close();
            }
        }

Problem manifests itself in here:

 FlowDocument doc = XamlReader.Parse(sr.ReadToEnd()) as FlowDocument;

The error message is given in the title this post. Thanks for any help!

It's telling you that the document you are trying to read isn't valid XAML, in fact the very first character is causing an issue (Line 1, position 1).

Thanks - and what should I do?

What are the contents of the file you are choosing in the OpenFile dialog? Perhaps the file does not contain XAML.

1. Notepad doesn't do individual character formatting, so there is no reason to load this into a Flowdocument. Simply load it into a multi-line textbox.

2. You don't want to use the XamlReader, as you are most likely not loading XAML from the file. The XamlParser class is designed to be used why you want to dynamically load a screen's XAML from a file. That's not what you are doing. You can simply use the TextReader class.

Also moving to WPF.

And how get string into FlowDocument? - (how convert string to FlowDocument) Thank you!

[eclipsed4utoo]

The FlowDocument should be used when you want advanced formatting. Notepad doesn't have hardly any formatting options. If you are trying to build Notepad, don't use the Flowdocument. Simply use a textbox.

I created ordinary notepad already long ago. But I did not work with WPF - I worked with Windows Form. Now I want make notepad for work with syntax programing languages,... Such as the Notepad++.
