FlowDocumentReader Load/Save XAML Sample

This sample demonstrates how to load a FlowDocument into a FlowDocumentReader, and how to save a FlowDocument as a Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) file. The sample implements a File menu with options to Load and Save As. The project includes sample FlowDocument files that can be loaded and displayed by a FlowDocumentReader.

This sample demonstrates a specific feature of the Windows Presentation Foundation and, consequently, does not follow application development best practices. For comprehensive coverage of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft .NET Framework application development best practices, refer to the following as appropriate:
