C# – Loading a large file into a WPF RichTextBox?

by

WPF RichTextBox control use Flow Document to display Rich Text and then attach the Flow Document to RTB control,while Windows Form RichTextBox control display Rich Text directly.
that’s what makes WPF RTB super slow.
if you are okay with using a WinForm RTB just host it in your wpf app.
the xaml : 

<Window x:Class="WpfHostWfRTB.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:wf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid>
    <Grid>
        <WindowsFormsHost Background="DarkGray" Grid.row="0" Grid.column="0">
            <wf:RichTextBox x:Name="rtb"/>
        </WindowsFormsHost>
    </Grid>
</Grid>
</Window>

C# code

private void LoadTextDocument(string fileName, RichTextBox rtb)
{
    System.IO.StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(fileName);
        if (File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            rtb.AppendText(objReader.ReadToEnd());
        }
        else rtb.AppendText("ERROR: File not found!");
        objReader.Close();
}
