RichTextBox can only receive text value not Images.

Not true. The RTB can handle images if done correctly.

Solution 1

The RichTextBox doesn't know how to handle the Word document format, so you don't open it in a RichTextBox.

Now if your Word document was saved in RTF or Text format, that'll work, but you'll lose at least some document formatting and some editing support depending on what's in the document.

Hello,

Although this has already been said, Rich Text box Controls can only load RTF formats, not doc files. But if you save your word document as "Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95-RTF" it will save the file as an rtf file with a doc extension. You can open that word document using the following statement.

richTextBox1.LoadFile(@"C:\Users\VINOD\Desktop\CodeProject\GridviewColumMErging.doc",
RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);

Thanks!!!
