// Regular expression to match whole words - (\w+)
Regex regex = new Regex("(\\w+)");
// Find all occurences of the specified Regex pattern
TextSearchResults results = richTextBoxAdv.FindAll(regex,FindOptions.None);
// Returns the word count
int wordsCount = results.Count;

' Regular expression to match whole words - (\w+)
Dim regex As New Regex("(\w+)")
' Find all occurences of the specified Regex pattern
Dim results As TextSearchResults = richTextBoxAdv.FindAll(regex, FindOptions.None)
' Returns the word count
