How do you clear a WPF RichTextBox?

Whenever I do richtextbox1.Clear() it says the method doesn't exist. And it's pretty much the only solution I get, everywhere I go.

I've tried looking for a Text property, and I've tried to look through the Document property as well, but to no avail.

What I am missing? The box needs to be cleared, like you can do with a textbox.Clear() call.

The correct way to do this for Windows Forms is to do richTextBox.ResetText();

If you are adding some controls into the richTextBox (e.g. below):

LinkLabel link = new LinkLabel();
richTextBox1.Controls.Add(link);

you have to use

richTextBox1.Controls.Clear();

to remove all controls.

You could just do richTextBox.Text = "";, too.
