Sigh. Google for "convert c# to vb.net".

You can display a UIElement, such as an Image or a Button, in a RichTextBox.

This enables rich text scenarios, such as displaying content from a chat client and showing emoticons.

UI elements are active when the RichTextBox is in read-only mode and inactive in edit mode. For example, they can respond to input and receive focus only when they are in read-only mode. Use the InlineUIContainer tag to add content that is derived from UIElement.

The following shows how to add an image to a RichTextBox.

VB

'A RichTextBox with an image.
                      Private
                      Sub ImageRTB()
    'Create a new RichTextBox.Dim MyRTB AsNew RichTextBox()

    ' Create a Run of plain text and image.Dim myRun AsNew Run()
    myRun.Text = "Displaying text with inline image"Dim MyImage AsNew Image()
    MyImage.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri("flower.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
    MyImage.Height = 50
    MyImage.Width = 50
    Dim MyUI AsNew InlineUIContainer()
    MyUI.Child = MyImage

    ' Create a paragraph and add the paragraph to the RichTextBox.Dim myParagraph AsNew Paragraph()
    MyRTB.Blocks.Add(myParagraph)

    ' Add the Run and image to it.
    myParagraph.Inlines.Add(myRun)
    myParagraph.Inlines.Add(MyUI)

    'Add the RichTextBox to the StackPanel.
    MySP.Children.Add(MyRTB)
EndSub
