Examples

Shows ways of accessing building blocks in a glossary document.

public void GlossaryDocument()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    GlossaryDocument glossaryDoc = new GlossaryDocument();

    BuildingBlock child1 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 1" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child1);
    BuildingBlock child2 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 2" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child2);
    BuildingBlock child3 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 3" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child3);
    BuildingBlock child4 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 4" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child4);
    BuildingBlock child5 = new BuildingBlock(glossaryDoc) { Name = "Block 5" };
    glossaryDoc.AppendChild(child5);

    Assert.AreEqual(5, glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks.Count);

    doc.GlossaryDocument = glossaryDoc;

    // There are various ways of accessing building blocks.
    // 1 -  Get the first/last building blocks in the collection:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 1", glossaryDoc.FirstBuildingBlock.Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 5", glossaryDoc.LastBuildingBlock.Name);

    // 2 -  Get a building block by index:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 2", glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks[1].Name);
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 3", glossaryDoc.BuildingBlocks.ToArray()[2].Name);

    // 3 -  Get the first building block that matches a gallery, name and category:
    Assert.AreEqual("Block 4", 
        glossaryDoc.GetBuildingBlock(BuildingBlockGallery.All, "(Empty Category)", "Block 4").Name);

    // We will do that using a custom visitor,
    // which will give every BuildingBlock in the GlossaryDocument a unique GUID

    // Visit start/end of the Glossary document.
    glossaryDoc.Accept(visitor);

    // Visit only end of the Glossary document.
