IVsTextStream::GetSize Method (Int32)

Visual Studio 2015

Returns the size in characters of the buffer.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.dll)

Syntax

C++

int GetSize(
	[OutAttribute] int% piLength
)

Parameters

piLength: Type: System::Int32
[out] Pointer to the size of the buffer, which is not necessarily the same value as the size of the buffer's internally-allocated memory or the size of the file (if any) represented by the buffer.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Implements

IVsTextBuffer::GetSize(Int32)

Remarks

COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

C++

HRESULT IVsTextStream::GetSize(
   [out] long *piLength
);

This method could require considerable resources, depending upon the underlying implementation of the buffer. That is, it could be very difficult to calculate the size of the buffer if it is a virtual-line-oriented implementation of the buffer, as in Visual Basic.
