Property Value

Type: System.Collections.ObjectModel::ReadOnlyCollection<VirtualSnapshotSpan>^

A collection of currently-selected spans.

This span collection is never empty, but the spans in this collection may be 0-length. This value can be very expensive to compute for the first time after the selection has changed, or after the view has done a layout. Use GetSelectionOnTextViewLine unless you need the entire selection.
