ASPxSpreadsheet.New() Method

Creates a document in the ASPxSpreadsheet.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Office

Declaration

C#

public void New()

VB.NET

Public Sub New

Remarks

Call the New method to create a document.

A new document has an empty DocumentID value, thus the document is not accessible from the DocumentManager API. The ASPxSpreadsheet retains such a document until the control switches to another document.

The ASPxSpreadsheet generates a DocumentID value for the document when a user saves it to a file system. Alternatively, you can assign a GUID to the DocumentId property explicitly:

C#

ASPxSpreadsheet1.New();
ASPxSpreadsheet1.DocumentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

VB

ASPxSpreadsheet1.New()
ASPxSpreadsheet1.DocumentId = Guid.NewGuid.ToString()

If the specified DocumentID value is not unique within all open documents, the ASPxSpreadsheet throws an exception. Call the GetAllDocuments() method to get identifiers of all open documents.
