silverlight 5 rich text box output XAML compatible with silverlgiht's 4 !

Question

Hi,

i have SL4 application which used rich text box , the output of the richtextbox was saved in the database. but in silverlight 5 the output format has changed , due to which our silverlight 4 application is breaking , because when it loads we get an exception saying 

XamlParseException

"'Cannot set unknown member 'System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph.CharacterSpacing'.' Line number '1' and line position '283'."

later we saw the silverlight 5 rich text box and we found that there is a new format . 

this is effecting us on live envirnment . whats the solution ? and also suggest some ways such that this wont happen when silverlight 5 comes in .

Note:

i have seen the silverlight 5 release document & i dont see this issue as a breaking change .

thank and i hope to listen from this soon

Hi ,

i am already using a richtextbox in silverlight 4 .

the difference in the output XAML from the rich text box from silverlight 4 to silverlight 5  is creating the problem for me .

I hope somebody suggest me a way out of this issue created by micrsoft i guess .
