TextRange Struct

Represents a zero-based range of two offset values within a text document.

public struct TextRange : ICloneable, IComparable, ITextRangeProvider
Implements:
ICloneable IComparable ITextRangeProvider

Constructors

TextRange(Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the TextRange class using the specified offset for both the start and end values.

public TextRange(int offset)
Parameter Type Description
offset Int32

The start and end offset in the range.

TextRange(Int32, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the TextRange class with the specified offset values.

public TextRange(int startOffset, int endOffset)
Parameter Type Description
startOffset Int32

The start offset in the range.

endOffset Int32

The end offset in the range.

Properties

AbsoluteLength

Gets the absolute number of characters encompassed by the TextRange.

public int AbsoluteLength { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The absolute number of characters encompassed by the TextRange.

Remarks

This value will always return a positive length, even if the range is not normalized.

Deleted

Gets a TextRange that is flagged as deleted.

public static TextRange Deleted { get; }

Property Value

TextRange:

A TextRange that is flagged as deleted.

EndOffset

Gets the end offset in the range.

public int EndOffset { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The end offset in the range.

Remarks

The end offset may occur before the start offset if the range is not normalized. The IsNormalized property indicates if the range is normalized. To get the normalized first offset in the range, use the FirstOffset property. To get the normalized last offset in the range, use the LastOffset property.

FirstOffset

Gets the first offset in the range.

public int FirstOffset { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The first offset in the range.

Remarks

This property returns either the StartOffset or EndOffset property, whichever comes first.

IsDeleted

Gets whether the range has been flagged as deleted.

public bool IsDeleted { get; }

Property Value

Boolean:

true if the range has been flagged as deleted; otherwise, false.

IsNormalized

Gets whether the range is normalized (StartOffset occurs at or before the EndOffset).

public bool IsNormalized { get; }

Property Value

Boolean:

true if the range is normalized; otherwise, false.

IsZeroLength

Gets whether the range has a zero length.

public bool IsZeroLength { get; }

Property Value

Boolean:

true if the range has a zero length; otherwise, false.

LastOffset

Gets the last offset in the range.

public int LastOffset { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The last offset in the range.

Remarks

This property returns either the StartOffset or EndOffset property, whichever comes last.

Length

Gets the number of characters encompassed by the TextRange.

public int Length { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The number of characters encompassed by the TextRange.

Remarks

This value will return a negative length if the range is not normalized.

NormalizedTextRange

Gets a normalized version of this TextRange without actually modifying this instance.

public TextRange NormalizedTextRange { get; }

Property Value

TextRange:

A normalized version of this TextRange without actually modifying this instance.

StartOffset

Gets the start offset in the range.

public int StartOffset { get; }

Property Value

Int32:

The start offset in the range.

Remarks

The start offset may occur after the end offset if the range is not normalized. The IsNormalized property indicates if the range is normalized. To get the normalized first offset in the range, use the FirstOffset property. To get the normalized last offset in the range, use the LastOffset property.
