IDocumentInfo	An object that define the found document.

Remarks

The method return an RichEditDocumentInfo or SpreadsheetDocumentInfo object that contain information about the target document and allow you to operate the document on the local web-server.

C#

var documentInfo = (RichEditDocumentInfo)DocumentManager.FindDocument("myDocumentId");
ASPxRichEdit1.Open(documentInfo);

VB

Dim documentInfo = CType(DocumentManager.FindDocument("myDocumentId"), RichEditDocumentInfo)
ASPxRichEdit1.Open(documentInfo)

Note

If you use an office document state provider in your web application, the returned object can only be used to close the target document using the IDocumentInfo.Close method. This behavior is caused by the fact that this method’s overload does not download the target document to the local web-server. Call this method’s overload with the loadRemoteState parameter set to true to download the target document’s and access all the RichEditDocumentInfo/SpreadsheetDocumentInfo object’s members.
