RichEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate(Byte[]) Method

Loads a document template from a byte array.

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Win.RichEdit

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
    byte[] buffer
)

Public Function LoadDocumentTemplate(
    buffer As Byte()
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
buffer	Byte[]

A byte array that contains document data.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean

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

Remarks

A document template cannot be 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 RichEditControl uses the built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation to detect the loaded document’s format. If format detection fails, the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.

Tip

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