You can use this LoadDocument method overload to load a document stored in an external database.
The built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation is used to detect the loaded document’s format. The following formats are detected:
DOC, DOCM, DOTX, DOT, DOTM, DOCX, RTF, HTM, HTML, MHT, XML, FlatOpc, EPUB;
ODT - non-encrypted files only.
If format detection fails, the InvalidFormatException event fires.
Tip
Use the RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded, RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WinForms), or RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WPF) event to determine when you can safely modify the document model. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check document layout-related data and objects.
