Remarks

The DocumentBase class is the base class for the ThisDocument class in document-level Word projects created by using Visual Studio. Use the ThisDocument class to access the document in your project. For more information, see Programming Document-Level Customizations.

The DocumentBase class provides the same members as a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document object in the Word primary interop assembly, but it adds the following features:

Creating Document Host Items

You cannot create DocumentBase objects programmatically in Office projects.

In document-level projects, the ThisDocument class (which derives from DocumentBase) is instantiated automatically by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime when the end user opens the document. For more information, see Programming Document-Level Customizations.

In application-level projects, you can create Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document host items programmatically by using the GetVstoObject method. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
