Set Content

GemBox.Document allows you to easily set content of any part of the document, either by setting new textual content with optional formatting or HTML textual content or by setting a more complex content specified with ContentRange parameter of a ContentRange.Set method.

Following example demonstrates how to set textual content with and without formatting, by using HTML formatting and set a more complex content (two paragraphs) to a part of document content.

See the full code below, use Run Example to execute.

        ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");

        DocumentModel document = new DocumentModel();

        // Set the content for the whole document
        document.Content.LoadText("Paragraph 1\nParagraph 2\nParagraph 3\nParagraph 4\nParagraph 5");

        var bold = new CharacterFormat()
        { 
            Bold = true
        };

        // Set the content for the 2nd paragraph
        document.Sections[0].Blocks[1].Content.LoadText("Bold paragraph 2", bold);
        
        // Set the content for 3rd and 4th paragraph to be the same as the content of 1st and 2nd paragraph
        var para3 = document.Sections[0].Blocks[2];
        var para4 = document.Sections[0].Blocks[3];            
        var destinationRange = new ContentRange(para3.Content.Start, para4.Content.End);
