I want to convert HTML to RichTextBlock in UWP. I found some answers in stackoverflow tried the code in following link
But when I try to bind html property in richtextblock controls it gives error saying The name "Properties" does not exist in the namespace "using XAMLHtml"
I included following code to convert HTML to RTF in XAMLHtml.cs file
class XAMLHtml
{
public class HtmlProperties : DependencyObject
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty HtmlProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"Html",
typeof(string),
typeof(HtmlProperties),
new PropertyMetadata(null, HtmlChanged));
private static RichTextBlock _currentObject;
private static void HtmlChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var richText = d as RichTextBlock;
if (richText == null) return;
_currentObject = richText;
//Generate blocks
var xhtml = e.NewValue as string;
var blocks = GenerateBlocksForHtml(xhtml);
_currentObject = null;
//Add the blocks to the RichTextBlock
richText.Blocks.Clear();
foreach (var b in blocks)
richText.Blocks.Add(b);
}
private static List<Block> GenerateBlocksForHtml(string xhtml)
{
var blocks = new List<Block>();
try
{
var doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(xhtml);
var block = GenerateParagraph(doc.DocumentNode);
blocks.Add(block);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
return blocks;
}
// TODO this method seams to be removing necessary spaces in #text nodes
private static string CleanText(string input)
{
var clean = Windows.Data.Html.HtmlUtilities.ConvertToText(input);
//clean = System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode(clean);
if (clean == "\0")
clean = "\n";
return clean;
}
private static Block GenerateBlockForTopNode(HtmlNode node)
=> GenerateParagraph(node);
private static void AddChildren(Paragraph p, HtmlNode node)
{
var added = false;
foreach (var child in node.ChildNodes)
{
var i = GenerateBlockForNode(child);
if (i != null)
{
p.Inlines.Add(i);
added = true;
}
}
if (!added)
{
p.Inlines.Add(new Run { Text = CleanText(node.InnerText) });
}
}
private static void AddChildren(Span s, HtmlNode node)
{
var added = false;
foreach (var child in node.ChildNodes)
{
var i = GenerateBlockForNode(child);
if (i != null)
{
s.Inlines.Add(i);
added = true;
}
}
if (!added)
{
s.Inlines.Add(new Run { Text = CleanText(node.InnerText) });
}
}
private static Inline GenerateBlockForNode(HtmlNode node)
{
switch (node.Name)
{

case "B":

}
}

{

AddChildren(bold, node);
return bold;
}
private static Inline GenerateUnderline(HtmlNode node)
{
var underline = new Underline();
AddChildren(underline, node);
return underline;
}
private static Inline GenerateItalic(HtmlNode node)
{
var italic = new Italic();

return italic;
}
private static Block GenerateParagraph(HtmlNode node)

AddChildren(paragraph, node);
return paragraph;
}
private static Inline GenerateSpanWNewLine(HtmlNode node)
{
