Geek Speak - Converting HTML to XAML
Well, I have been playing with Avalon for a bit. One of the things that I have been playing with is a RSS viewer, just a little hobby. Viewing blogs were not difficult, but the displaying of the HTML from the RSS is where the problems start. But what you really need to do is use a converter and then put it into a FlowDocument. At the following location you can download a XAML/HTML Converter. http://wpf.netfx3.com/files/folders/developer/entry816.aspx
If you take this code and add it into a class library on it own. You can then do the following code:
string text = { Some HTML Text };
string xaml = HTMLConverter.HtmlToXamlConverter.ConvertHtmlToXaml(text, true);
rssBlogText.Document = XamlReader.Load(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(xaml))) as FlowDocument;
This code is part of a UserControl where the Loaded event executes the above code.
This is the corresponding XAML code:
<FlowDocumentReader Name="rssBlogText" ViewingMode="Scroll"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" IsPageViewEnabled="False" IsPrintEnabled="False"
IsFindEnabled="False" IsScrollViewEnabled="True" IsTwoPageViewEnabled="False"
Zoom="75"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"/>
This will allow you to see the resulting converted XAML in a FlowDocument. Try it and let me know.
