'Declaración
Function Replace ( _
    startPosition As Integer, _

bool Replace(

    int charsToReplace, 
    String^ replaceWith
)

abstract Replace : 
        startPosition:int * 
        charsToReplace:int * 
        replaceWith:string -> bool

function Replace(
    startPosition : int, 
    charsToReplace : int, 
    replaceWith : String
) : boolean

startPosition
Type: System.Int32
The buffer position at which to start replacing.

Type: System.Boolean
true if the replacement succeeded; false if it was prevented by a read-only region.

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	replaceWith is null.
InvalidOperationException	The Apply or Cancel or Dispose method has previously been called on this object.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startPosition is less than zero or greater than the length of the buffer, or charsToReplace is less than zero, or startPosition + charsToReplace is greater than the length of the buffer.

This method has the same effect as first deleting the charsToReplace and then inserting replaceWith.

Replacing zero characters with an empty string will succeed but will not generate a new snapshot or raise a Changed event.
