Remarks

The AddDocument method adds a new Document to the View. This Document has no content yet, but it refers to a Control (for instance, a UserControl) via the BaseDocument.ControlName property. On application start-up, before the form is shown, call the BaseView.AddDocument overload method that takes a control as a parameter and pass a new instance of this UserControl to this method. This won’t create any new documents. Instead, a Document created via the AddDocument method will receive a UserControl specified via the BaseDocument.ControlName property as a content.

C#

//Creates an empty Document 'Doc 1' that refers to the UserControl1
documentManager1.View.AddDocument("Doc 1", "UserControl1");
//Sets the UserControl1 as a content for the 'Doc 1'
documentManager1.View.AddDocument(new UserControls.UserControl1());

VB.NET

'Creates an empty Document 'Doc 1' that refers to the UserControl1
documentManager1.View.AddDocument("Doc 1", "UserControl1")
'Sets the UserControl1 as a content for the 'Doc 1'
documentManager1.View.AddDocument(New UserControls.UserControl1())
