Each one is a small project that shows one technique around the [TextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/llms-full.txt), and the tables name the version and the framework it was written for. ### Before You Run an Older Sample Most of these samples target the .NET Framework and reference the assemblies of an earlier version of TX Text Control. Reference the assemblies of your installation and update the version in *licenses.licx*, as [GitHub Examples](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/examples/github/#update-an-older-sample) describes. Samples for .NET 6 need the target framework .NET 8 or higher and the current package. ### Single Samples | Example | What it shows | Where | |---|---|---| | Print preview | A print preview that WPF lacks: each page is rendered with [Page.GetImage](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/page/getimage-method/llms-full.txt) and shown in the WPF `DocumentViewer`, as described in [New Sample: Building a Print Preview for TX Text Control .NET for WPF](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2010/12/10/new-sample-building-a-print-preview-for-tx-text-control-net-for-wpf/). .NET Framework 4.8, version 33.0, C# | [TextControl.WPF.PrintPreview](https://github.com/TextControl/TextControl.WPF.PrintPreview) | | Line numbers | Line numbers next to each line of text, placed over the editor with [PointFromDocument](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/pointfromdocument-method/llms-full.txt) and the [Lines](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/lines-property/llms-full.txt) collection, as described in [Displaying Line Numbers in Windows Forms and WPF](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2018/08/17/displaying-line-numbers-in-windows-forms-and-wpf/). .NET Framework 4.8, version 33.0, C# | [TextControl.WPF.LineNumbering](https://github.com/TextControl/TextControl.WPF.LineNumbering) | | Tab stop guides | Vertical guides from the ruler down the page at the tab positions of the current paragraph, updated in [ParagraphFormatChanged](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/paragraphformatchanged-event/llms-full.txt). .NET Framework 4.5, version 33.0, C# | [TextControl.WPF.TabStopGuides](https://github.com/TextControl/TextControl.WPF.TabStopGuides) | | Date picker for date fields | A WPF `DatePicker` that opens when the user clicks a date field, in the [TextFieldClicked](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/textfieldclicked-event/llms-full.txt) event, and writes the date through [DateField](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-documentserver-fields/datefield/llms-full.txt). .NET Framework 4.5, version 22.0, C# | [TextControl.WPF.DatePicker](https://github.com/TextControl/TextControl.WPF.DatePicker) | ### Official Samples The how-to and tutorial samples of [TXSamples\_WPF\_CSharp](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp) and [TXSamples\_WPF\_VB.NET](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_VB.NET) are written for version 32.0, for the .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 6: | Example | What it shows | Where | |---|---|---| | Simple | The smallest word processor: loading and saving, the clipboard, formatting dialog boxes, two [RulerBar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/rulerbar/llms-full.txt) controls, a [ButtonBar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/buttonbar/llms-full.txt) and a [StatusBar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/statusbar/llms-full.txt) | [TXSamples\_WPF\_CSharp](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp), folder *Tutorial* | | Hyperlinks | Hypertext links and link targets in three steps, and the events of a clicked link | [TXSamples\_WPF\_CSharp](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp), folder *Howto* | | Mini toolbar | Groups of the [MiniToolbar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/wpf-minitoolbar/llms-full.txt) that depend on what is selected; [ShowMiniToolbar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/showminitoolbar-property/llms-full.txt) switches it on | [TXSamples\_WPF\_CSharp](https://github.com/TextControl/TXSamples_WPF_CSharp), folder *Howto* | The how-to samples for spreadsheet formulas and XML files are listed in [Document Processing Examples](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/examples/document-processing/#wpf-samples).
