RichEditDocumentServer.LoadDocumentTemplate(String) Method

SECURITY-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

Using file paths sourced from untrusted input may expose unauthorized files or allow unintended file access. Always validate and normalize all external paths to prevent path manipulation.

Loads a document template from the specified file.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly : DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

csharp

public virtual bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
    string fileName
)

Public Overridable Function LoadDocumentTemplate(
    fileName As String
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fileName	String

A string specifying the file to load (including the full path).

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean

true , if the document is successfully loaded; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The document template cannot be automatically overwritten either in code or in the UI. The information about the original file location and its format is dropped. An attempt to save (i.e., overwrite) the original document invokes the Save As dialog.

The format of the document loaded from a stream is detected automatically by the built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation. If the format detection fails or the passed string value is null , an RichEditDocumentServer.InvalidFormatException fires.

Tip

Use the LoadDocumentTemplate method overloads with explicit format definition to improve performance.
