Declaration

C#

bool LoadDocument(
    byte[] buffer,
    DocumentFormat format
)

VB.NET

Function LoadDocument(
    buffer As Byte(),
    format As DocumentFormat
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
buffer	Byte[]	A byte array that contains document data.
format	DocumentFormat	An enumeration member that specifies the format of the loaded document.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the document was successfully loaded; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can use this LoadDocument method overload to load a document stored in an external database.

If a document has a different format than the format parameter specifies, the InvalidFormatException event fires.

Tip

Use the RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded, RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WinForms), or RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WPF) event to determine when you can safely modify the document model. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check document layout-related data and objects.
