Hello Matias,
To accomplish this task, I recommend you save RichEditControl's document to the stream in the Rtf format using the RichEditControl.SaveDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat) method. After that, you will be able to save stream bytes to the database.
To restore the document in RichEditControl later, read bytes array from the database to a stream and load the document from this stream using the RichEditControl.LoadDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat) method. Note that it's also necessary to use the Rtf document format in this method.
I hope that you find this information helpful.

      Good Answer, thanks.I found a better solution using the Rtf Text property of this control to save as string in the database and binding to the same property on load method.Thanks again.Matias
