Type | Description |
---|---|
ValueTask<Field> | A structure that stores an awaitable result of an asynchronous operation. The awaitable result is a field object. |
Remarks
Call the CreateAsync(Interval) method to wrap the specified interval in a new field.
The following example shows how to create a PAGE field in a header:
<DxRichEdit @ref="@richEdit" />
@code {
DxRichEdit richEdit;
Document documentAPI;
@* ... *@
/* Surround the code that contains an asynchronous operation with a try-catch block to handle
the OperationCanceledException. This exception is thrown when an asynchronous operation is cancelled. */
try {
documentAPI = richEdit.DocumentAPI;
@* ... *@
// Accesses a header
Section section = await documentAPI.Sections.GetAsync(0);
SubDocument header = await section.GetHeaderAsync(HeaderFooterType.Primary, true);
// Inserts the "PAGE" text in the header
TextSpan pageNumber = await header.AddTextAsync("PAGE");
// Creates a PAGE field
Field pageField = await header.Fields.CreateAsync(pageNumber.Interval);
// Updates the field
await header.Fields.UpdateAsync(pageField);
@* ... *@
}
catch (OperationCanceledException e) {
Console.WriteLine($"{nameof(OperationCanceledException)} thrown with message: {e.Message}");
}
}
Update a field to calculate and display the field result. The UpdateAsync(Field) method allows you to update a field. Call the UpdateAllAsync(Boolean) method to update every field in a sub-document or in all sub-documents.
