WPF DOCX Editor SDK

[David]

Hey all I am looking for this example within the plethora of demos you can download off your GitHub page. 

Am I just missing it? Is there a “everything and the kitchen sink” type of example code?

[Kalaivannan Ganesan]

Hi David,

Our GitHub repository includes a variety of completed demos related to the WPF DOCX Editor SDK. These cover different features and use cases to help you get started quickly.

You can find the demos here: docx-editor-sdk-wpf-demos

Please go through the samples for more information. If you need help locating a specific feature or example, feel free to let us know.

Seems when i load up the example it has 84-ish errors

[David]

and all of these dependencies:

Hi David,

The errors are occurring because the required assemblies are not referenced in the demos.

To refer the assemblies, please follow the instructions below:
Since you have the DOCX Editor build, it includes the assemblies and dependent assemblies required for the SfRichTextRibbon and SfRichTextBoxAdv controls only. However, it does not contain assemblies for other controls and themes used in the shared demos.

You can refer to the assemblies available in the build for the DOCX Editor controls. For the remaining assemblies, you can download and use them via NuGet packages.

We’ve attached a video illustration showing how to refer to the assemblies from the build. Please refer to it for more information on handling assemblies for SfRichTextRibbon and SfRichTextBoxAdv.

For other controls and themes, kindly remove the existing references and use the corresponding NuGet packages instead.

As shown in the video, the DOCX Editor build includes only the assemblies required for its specific controls. Once referenced correctly, the assemblies will be resolved properly.

Thanks for the video.

I followed it but i still have yellow triangles?

But when i load up the project, even though those yellow triangles are gone it still fails at compiling.

What am i missing to do?

[David]

Alright spent a few more hours and got the errors down to 11

But I am still not able to get rid of those. All the dependencies are found except for Microsoft.VisualStudio.DesignTools.Extensibility in the syncfusion.richtextboxdemos.wpf_lib.csproj and syncfusion.samplebrowser.wpf_docxeditorsdk.csproj:

Hi David,

We are checking the reported issue and testing with both the assemblies from the build and the NuGet packages. We’re working to make the sample runnable with this setup and will share a complete update with you by 17^th September 2025.

[Kalaivannan Ganesan]

Hi David,

As mentioned earlier, we should use the SfRichTextBoxAdv and SfRichTextRibbon related assemblies from the DOCX Editor SDK build. For other controls, we should use the latest version of the NuGet packages.

To achieve this, please update the .props file (demos.common.props ) where the common assemblies are referenced. Specifically, we need to ensure that assemblies not included in the DOCX Editor SDK build are referenced via NuGet, while others continue to use DLLs.

Except for the following: ( Shared.WPF, Tools.WPF, License DLL),  all other assemblies should be referenced using NuGet packages.

You can refer to the .props file in the attached sample application for more details.

---

Similarly, please update the following .csproj files to reflect which assemblies should be referenced from the build and which should use NuGet packages:

samplebrowser/syncfusion.samplebrowser.wpf_docxeditorsdk.csproj

showcase/documenteditor/syncfusion.documenteditor.wpf.csproj

showcase/documenteditor/syncfusion.documenteditor.wpf_lib.csproj

We’ve attached the updated sample application, which demonstrates the correct usage of assemblies from the build and NuGet packages. Please refer to it for more information.

Additionally, we’ve included a video illustration showing how the assemblies are referenced and how the sample application runs. Kindly review it as well.

I can confirm that its finally able to compile and run!

Thanks!

[Kalaivannan Ganesan]

Thank you for the confirmation.

We’re glad to hear that everything is compiling and running smoothly now. Please feel free to reach out if you need assistance with anything else.

    hi, I downloaded the WPF DOCX Editor Demo program, but my VS is the 2019 version I have been modifying the configuration file for a day, but still cannot enable it

    Because I am using the Win7 operating system, I am currently unable to upgrade to Win10. Can you provide a separate example program for the net462 framework

Thank you very much!

Hi Xiaoli Hao,

We have created a simple WPF application using .NET Framework 4.6.2 with SfRichTextBoxAdv and SfRichTextRibbon (version 31.2.12) and applied the Windows 11 Light theme.

Please refer to the following links for more details:

• User Guide for SfRichTextBoxAdv and SfRichTextRibbon

• User Guide for Themes and Other Available Options

Additionally, we have attached a sample application and a video for your reference.
