IUriProvider Interface

Defines the provider of the locations for external objects in a document export.

Namespace: DevExpress.Office.Services

Assembly: DevExpress.Office.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Office.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[ComVisible(true)]
public interface IUriProvider

VB.NET

<ComVisible(True)>
Public Interface IUriProvider

Remarks

When the document is exported to a format that implies that a part of the document’s content is located externally, such as HTML format, the IUriProvider interface provides Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) for the external objects. The IUriProvider.CreateCssUri method processes the style information , and the IUriProvider.CreateImageUri processes images.

Tip

The SubDocument.GetHtmlText method has a parameter that is an object with the IUriProvider interface.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use the DocumentImage.Uri property to set the image’s src attribute when a document is saved in HTML format. You can switch on the HtmlDocumentExporterOptions.EmbedImages option to observe that the custom URI provider is idle for embedded images.

View Example: Retain the Original Image URI in an HTML Document
