Parameters

  • replaceWith
    Type: String

    The new text to replace the old.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.ITextSnapshot
The ITextSnapshot.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

replaceWith is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

InvalidOperationException

A text edit is currently active.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

replaceSpan.End is greater than the length of the buffer.

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.
