UIDocument Class

Definition

Abstract base class providing local and cloud-based management of Model data.

[Foundation.Register("UIDocument", true)]
[ObjCRuntime.Unavailable(ObjCRuntime.PlatformName.TvOS, ObjCRuntime.PlatformArchitecture.All, null)]
public class UIDocument : Foundation.NSObject, Foundation.INSFilePresenter, Foundation.INSProgressReporting, IDisposable, UIKit.IUIUserActivityRestoring
type UIDocument = class
    inherit NSObject
    interface INSFilePresenter

Remarks

Application developers can subclass UIDocument to create objects that are "Model-Controllers" and relate to Model (domain) objects analogously to how UIViewController relate to UIViews. iOS provides a number of functions, including background asynchronous reading and writing of application data, automatic and safe data-saving, storage that is automatically coordinated between the application sandbox and cloud services, etc.

The members of this class can be used from a background thread.

Constructors
