ClearHeadersFooters

ClearHeadersFooters()

Clears the headers and footers of this section.

public void ClearHeadersFooters()

Remarks

The text of all headers and footers is cleared, but HeaderFooter objects themselves are not removed.

This makes headers and footers of this section linked to headers and footers of the previous section.

Examples

Shows how to clear the contents of all headers and footers in a section.

Document doc = new Document();

Assert.AreEqual(0, doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters.Count);

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
builder.Writeln("This is the primary header.");
builder.MoveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
builder.Writeln("This is the primary footer.");

Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters.Count);

Assert.AreEqual("This is the primary header.", doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary].GetText().Trim());
Assert.AreEqual("This is the primary footer.", doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary].GetText().Trim());

// Empty all the headers and footers in this section of all their contents.
// The headers and footers themselves will still be present but will have nothing to display.
doc.FirstSection.ClearHeadersFooters();

Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters.Count);

Assert.AreEqual(string.Empty, doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary].GetText().Trim());
Assert.AreEqual(string.Empty, doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary].GetText().Trim());
