Remarks

Important

The RichEditDocumentServerExtensions class is defined in the DevExpress.Docs.v25.1.dll assembly and DevExpress.Document.Processor NuGet package. Add this assembly or package to your project to use the RichEditDocumentServerExtensions members. You need a license for the DevExpress Office File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use this library in production code.

Use this SaveDocumentAsync method overload to encrypt a document with a password.

The SaveDocumentAsync method call does not automatically change the RichEditDocumentServer.Modified property value.

Important

Take into account the following when you call this method:

• The events fired by this method call may occur in a different thread than the target operation.

• The operation is not thread safe (the document should not be accessed simultaneously by different threads). Wait until the operation is completed before you continue to work with the document (for example, use the await operator).

The code sample below merges two asynchronously loaded documents and encrypts and exports the result:

C#

private async void MergeDocuments()
{
    using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor = new RichEditDocumentServer())
    using (RichEditDocumentServer wordProcessor2 = new RichEditDocumentServer())
    {
        await Task.WhenAll(new Task[]
        {
      wordProcessor.LoadDocumentAsync("Document1.docx"),
      wordProcessor2.LoadDocumentAsync("Document2.docx")
        });

        EncryptionSettings encryptionSettings = new EncryptionSettings("12345", EncryptionType.Strong);
        wordProcessor.Document.AppendDocumentContent(wordProcessor2.Document.Range);
        await wordProcessor.SaveDocumentAsync(new FileStream("merged.docx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite), 
            DocumentFormat.Docx, encryptionSettings);
    }
}

VB.NET

  Private Async Sub MergeDocuments()
    Using wordProcessor As New RichEditDocumentServer()
    Using wordProcessor2 As New RichEditDocumentServer()
      Await Task.WhenAll(New Task() { wordProcessor.LoadDocumentAsync("Document1.docx"), wordProcessor2.LoadDocumentAsync("Document2.docx") })

      Dim encryptionSettings As New EncryptionSettings("12345", EncryptionType.Strong)
      wordProcessor.Document.AppendDocumentContent(wordProcessor2.Document.Range)
      Await wordProcessor.SaveDocumentAsync(New FileStream("merged.docx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite), DocumentFormat.Docx, encryptionSettings)
    End Using
    End Using
  End Sub
