Replaces a span of characters with different text. This is equivalent to first deleting the text to be replaced and then inserting the new text.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Projection
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Data (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Data.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Replace ( _
    replaceSpan As Span, _
    replaceWith As String _
) As IProjectionSnapshot

IProjectionSnapshot Replace(
    Span replaceSpan,
    string replaceWith
)

IProjectionSnapshot^ Replace(
    Span replaceSpan, 
    String^ replaceWith
)

abstract Replace : 
        replaceSpan:Span * 
        replaceWith:string -> IProjectionSnapshot

function Replace(
    replaceSpan : Span, 
    replaceWith : String
) : IProjectionSnapshot

Parameters

replaceSpan
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Span
The span of characters to replace.

replaceWith
Type: System.String
The new text.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Projection.IProjectionSnapshot
An IProjectionSnapshot.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	replaceWith is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The end of replaceSpan span is greater than the length of the buffer.
InvalidOperationException	A ITextEdit is currently active.

Remarks

This is a shortcut for creating a new ITextEdit object, using it to replace the text, and then applying it. If the replacement fails on account of a read-only region, the snapshot returned will be the same as the current snapshot of the buffer before the attempted replacement.
