Examples

This example works only in Visual Studio .NET 2003. For more information, see Migrating Code that Creates Projects by Using Templates.

Sub TextExample(ByVal dte As DTE)  

    ' NOTE: This examples requires a reference to the   
    '       VSLangProj namespace.  

    ' Create a new solution.  
    Dim soln As Solution = dte.Solution  
    Dim solnName As String = "NewSolution.sln"  
    Dim tempPath As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath()  
    soln.Create(tempPath, solnName)  

    ' Create a new Visual Basic Console Application project.  
    Dim templatePath As String =   
        dte.Solution.TemplatePath(PrjKind.prjKindVBProject)  
    templatePath &= "ConsoleApplication.vsz"  
    Dim projName As String = "NewProject"  
    soln.AddFromTemplate(templatePath, tempPath & projName, projName)  
    Dim proj As Project = soln.Item(1)  

    ' Add a comment to Module1.vb.  
    Dim item As ProjectItem = proj.ProjectItems.Item("Module1.vb")  
    Dim sel As TextSelection = CType(item.Document.Selection,   
        TextSelection)  

    sel.StartOfDocument()  
    sel.NewLine()  
    sel.LineUp()  
    sel.Text = "' New comment" & vbCrLf  

End Sub  
public void TextExample(DTE dte)  
{  
    // NOTE: This examples requires a reference to the   
    //       VSLangProj namespace.  

    // Create a new solution.  
    Solution soln = dte.Solution;  
    string solnName = "NewSolution.sln";  
    string tempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();  
    soln.Create(tempPath, solnName);  

    // Create a new C# Console Application project.  
    string templatePath =   
        dte.Solution.get_TemplatePath(PrjKind.prjKindCSharpProject);  
    templatePath += "CSharpConsole.vsz";  
    string projName = "Project1";  
    soln.AddFromTemplate(templatePath, tempPath + projName,   
        projName, false);  
    Project proj = soln.Item(1);  

    // Add a comment to Class1.cs.  
    ProjectItem item = proj.ProjectItems.Item("Class1.cs");  
    TextSelection sel = (TextSelection)item.Document.Selection;  

    sel.StartOfDocument(false);  
    sel.NewLine(1);  
    sel.LineUp(false, 1);  
    sel.Text = "// New comment\n";  
}  

Remarks

The Text property is the default property for the TextSelection object.

When the Text property is read, the text in the text selection is returned, and the selection itself is unchanged.

When the Text property is set, the value of Text is inserted in front of the text selection and then collapsed, similar to what happens when text is pasted into a document. Note that this property behaves just as it would when the editor is in insert (that is, nonovertype) mode. Any text after the 128th character is truncated.

If the Mode property of the TextSelection object is set to Column, then setting the Text property generates an error.
