Document.Accept

Document.Accept method

Accepts the visitor of the node.

public override void Accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
ParameterTypeDescription
visitorDocumentVisitorThe object of a class derived from the DocumentVisitor.

Examples

Shows how to access content of a document using visitor.

public static void Run()
{
    // The path to the documents directory.
    string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_LoadingAndSaving();

    // Open the document we want to convert.
    Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Aspose.one");

    // Create an object that inherits from the DocumentVisitor class.
    MyOneNoteToTxtWriter myConverter = new MyOneNoteToTxtWriter();

    // This is the well known Visitor pattern. Get the model to accept a visitor.
    // The model will iterate through itself by calling the corresponding methods
    // on the visitor object (this is called visiting).
    //
    // Note that every node in the object model has the Accept method so the visiting
    // can be executed not only for the whole document, but for any node in the document.
    doc.Accept(myConverter);

    // Once the visiting is complete, we can retrieve the result of the operation,
    // that in this example, has accumulated in the visitor.
    Console.WriteLine(myConverter.GetText());
    Console.WriteLine(myConverter.NodeCount);
