Hi, I've came up short on an answer to this:
Is there a way to find out if a string variable contains valid rtf text? I
got around by trapping the error and just setting the .text property instead
of the .rtf property of my richTextBox. But I would like to know (to
prevent the exception) if the string variable contains valid rtf data.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
 
Hi Jason, try this:

Public Function IsRTF(ByVal strText As String) As Boolean
Return strText.StartsWith("{\rtf1")
End Function

I think the way you mentioned is the easiest solution...
