I was looking for a rich text editor with support for export/import to Html. All the available controls I found are Silverlight controls.
Someone asked in StackOverflow about WPF text editor, and the selected answer was:
A possible place to start, given the overlap between WPF and Silverlight is the Silverlight Rich Text Editor.
As far as I know, it is not possible to use Silverlight controls inside WPF application. Using browser control to host the Silverlight control seem to me like a really bad option.
Is it possible to use Silverlight in WPF application? Otherwise, is there any descent WPF rich text editor out there?

Summary: 1. Silverlight is simply a subset of WPF.
WPF is a thick Windows client platform that has access to the full . Net Framework. Silverlight is a browser-based technology that has access to a subset of the . Net Framework (called the CoreCLR). So, you'll notice differences using seemingly every day methods and objects within the framework.
WPF can be ran in both a browser or as a WinForms style application in Windows while Silverlight can only be ran in a browser. WPF is intended to run on Windows systems while Silverlight runs on Windows or Mac, also Linux via Moonlight.
WPF only runs on windows. You can make a type of wpf application called xbap which runs in a browser.
I think the poster on the Stackoverflow question was suggesting recompiling the source to target WPF. This might imply fixing up / replacing certain bits of code, but having the source to a SL control makes it conceivable to port it to WPF.
