How to format a string before appending it into a RichTextBox? Is it possible?

I`m inserting strings in a rich text control using the AppendText method, I
would like to change certain parts of the string so, for example, a certain
word appears bold and red when inserted. Is it possible using this control?

Thanks,
Juan.

Yes, here's an example:

richTextBox.Sel ectionStart = richTextBox.Tex tLength;
richTextBox.Sel ectionColor = Color.Red;
richTextBox.Sel ectedText = "Red text." + Environment.New Line;
richTextBox.Sel ectionColor = Color.Blue;
richTextBox.Sel ectedText = "Blue text."

Hi, I have a richtextbox control that displays some xml data either by loading from a file or by copy-paste in plaintext format. So, it is displayed without any formatting or indentation. Now, I want to display it in a more readable fashion. So, I want to provide an option like "Format Whole Document" (like the one in VS .NET). Is there any way to do this? Regards.

For readability sake I’m going to first state that: LF = Line Feed CHR(10) CR = Carriage Return CHR(13) Since Rich Text Format is a standard formalized by Microsoft Corporation I get to ask them why they decided that RTF format needed to start writing LF instead of the CRLF that you see in implemented in non formatted text such as seen via notepad. Nor can I find any history on why the decision was made. Was it forgotten and just left...

Hi all, I am looking for a smart way to assure a file is indeed a text file within a C# method and not binary. For example: Will "thisMysteryFile.dat" be legible if opened in a RichTextBox ... or is it a binary file? I have searched various methods in the string class and am having no luck.
