How do you bind a string property to a syntax editor document?
We previously had a textbox that we used for scripting, with the Text property bound to a string in the view model. I have now replaced this textbox with a XamSyntaxEditor but i don't see any way to bind this string property to the document within this syntaxeditor. I can see the value through code but I would rather just bind it directly as there are other parts of the code that rely on this binding.
Hello,
The document property of the XamSytaxEditor is a dependency property and can be bound to a TextDocument. Binding the Syntax Editor directly to a string would be a feature request.
We have created a new products idea site where you can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
If you are still interested in this feature, I suggest adding it to this site.
There are many benefits to submitting a product idea:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
Steps to create your idea:
The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.

I'm also replacing the textBox control with a XamSyntaxEditor, could you provide an example of how you managed to bind a string property to the document.
Thanks,

Thanks guys,
I have managed to bind the Document property of the SyntaxEditor and tweaked our code slightly to take this into account and it all appears to be working.
A .Text property would certainly make this more usable though. I'm sure I'm no the only person who will be using this control to replace a Textbox, so changing the behavior to make it more like a textbox would certainly simply things a lot.
