Remarks

The TextDocument object is based on the Visual C++ version 6.0 Document object.

In Visual C++ version 6.0, the properties and methods of the TextDocument object were a superset of the Document object. In Visual Studio, however, Document has all the methods and properties that were part of TextDocument in Visual C++ version 6.0. In Visual Studio, TextDocument has only text-specific methods. The reason this does not break old code is that all methods that returned a TextDocument object in Visual C++ version 6.0 now return a Document object. So, old code that expects a TextDocument object actually uses a Document object.

Examples

Sub TextDocExample(ByVal dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
    Dim objTD As TextDocument = dte.ActiveDocument.Object
    MsgBox("Selection: " & objTD.Selection.Mode.ToString)
End Sub
public void TextDocExample(_DTE dte)
{
    TextDocument td = (TextDocument)dte.ActiveDocument.Object ("");
    MessageBox.Show ("Selection: " + td.Selection.Mode.ToString ());
}
