IDocumentFormatDetector.Detect(String) Method

Returns the format of a file with the specified path.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

DocumentFormat Detect(
    string filePath
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
filePath	String	The path to the document.

Returns

Type	Description
DocumentFormat	The format of the document.

Remarks

The Rich Text Editor automatically detects the document’s format when you call the LoadDocumentAsync(String, CancellationToken) method to load a document from a specified file path. Override the Detect method to implement your own file format detection logic.

The following code snippet implements the IDocumentFormatDetector interface and its Detect methods.

public class MyDocumentFormatDetector : IDocumentFormatDetector {
  public DocumentFormat Detect(string filePath) {
    if(!File.Exists(filePath)) {
      switch(Path.GetExtension(filePath)) {
        case ".rtf":
          return DocumentFormat.Rtf;
        case ".docx":
          return DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
        default:
          return DocumentFormat.PlainText;
      }
    } else {
      using(var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) {
        return Detect(stream);
      }
    }
  }
  public DocumentFormat Detect(Stream stream) {
    if(!stream.CanSeek)
      return DocumentFormat.PlainText;
    stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    var head = new byte[5];
    stream.Read(head, 0, head.Length);
    stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    if(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(head, 0, 2) == "PK")
      return DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
    else if(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(head) == "{\\rtf")
      return DocumentFormat.Rtf;
    return DocumentFormat.PlainText;
  }
}
