Methods

CanAdd(Type, out Exception)

Checks whether a ContentObject of the specified type can be added to the current object.

public bool CanAdd(Type contentObjectType, out Exception ex)

Parameters

contentObjectType System.Type: The type of the content object to add.
ex System.Exception: OUT: the exception that would be thrown if a content object of the specified type was added.

Returns

bool: true if a content object of the specified type can be added, false otherwise.

CanAdd(Type)

Checks whether a ContentObject of the specified type can be added to the current object.

public bool CanAdd(Type contentObjectType)

Parameters

contentObjectType System.Type: The type of the content object to add.

Returns

bool: true if a content object of the specified type can be added, false otherwise.

CanAddContentControl(ContentControlType, out Exception)

Checks whether a ContentControl of the specified type can be added to the current object.

public bool CanAddContentControl(ContentControlType type, out Exception ex)

Parameters

type ContentControlType: The type of the content control to add.
ex System.Exception: OUT: the exception that would be thrown if a content control of the specified type was added.

Returns

bool: true if a content control of the specified type can be added, false otherwise.

CanAddContentControl(ContentControlType)

Checks whether a ContentControl of the specified type can be added to the current object.

public bool CanAddContentControl(ContentControlType type)

Parameters

type ContentControlType: The type of the content control to add.

Returns

bool: true if a content control of the specified type can be added, false otherwise.

Delete()

Deletes this content object from the parent Body.

Note that the position occupied by this content object in the parent can still be accessed (e.g. to insert new content) via a PersistentRange if one has previously been created with GetPersistentRange().

public virtual void Delete()

GetChildren<T>()

Gets the collection of this content object's children of a specified type.

public IReadOnlyList<T> GetChildren<T>() where T : ContentObject

Returns

System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<T><T>: A readonly list of this object's children with the specified type.

Type Parameters

T: The requested type of child objects.

GetPersistentRange()

Creates and returns a PersistentRange associated with this content object.

Unlike the Range returned by GetRange(), this persistent range and any markers on it (see Start and End) can still be used if the object is deleted.

Note that PersistentRange should be disposed when no longer needed to improve performance.

public PersistentRange GetPersistentRange()

Returns

PersistentRange: A new PersistentRange instance associated with this content object.

GetRange()

Creates and returns a Range associated with this content object.

To get a range that can be used after the object has been deleted, see GetPersistentRange().

public Range GetRange()

Returns

Range: A new Range instance associated with this content object.

ToString()

Gets string representation of the content.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string: String representation of the content.
