Save RichTextBox Content in xps Format in WPF MVVM

Introduction

The follwoing code sample completed the work of saving RichTextBoxcontent in to XPS file format in MVVM. for that i have taken one RichTextBox and one Button Control in the main window.

In the Delegate Command of Button i have created the object of Print Dialog and in the print method of Print Dialog passed the FlowDocument of RichTextbox. See the bellow code for mere clarification.

XAML Code

<window x:class="PrintingRichTextBoxContent.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" title="MainWindow" height="755"

width="702" initialized="Window_Initialized_1">

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="725" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="694">

<Button Content="Print" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="307,693,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Name="btnPrint" Command="{Binding OpenDialogCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=txtPrintText, Path=Document}"/>
