abstract Replace : 
        replaceSpan:Span * 
        replaceWith:string -> IProjectionSnapshot

function Replace(
    replaceSpan : Span, 
    replaceWith : String
) : IProjectionSnapshot

Parameters

• replaceSpan
  Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Span

  The span of characters to replace.

• replaceWith
  Type: String

  The new text.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Projection.IProjectionSnapshot
An IProjectionSnapshot.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	replaceWith is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The end of replaceSpan span is greater than the length of the buffer.
InvalidOperationException	A ITextEdit is currently active.

Remarks

This is a shortcut for creating a new ITextEdit object, using it to replace the text, and then applying it. If the replacement fails on account of a read-only region, the snapshot returned will be the same as the current snapshot of the buffer before the attempted replacement.
