Property Value

ReadOnlyCollection<VirtualSnapshotSpan>

A collection of currently-selected spans.

Remarks

This span collection will never be empty. However, the spans in this collection may be 0-length.

This value can be very expensive to compute the first time after the selection has changed.

Use GetSelectionOnTextViewLine() unless you need the entire selection.
