Syntax

ReadOnly Property SelectedSpans As NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection

NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection SelectedSpans { get; }

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.NormalizedSnapshotSpanCollection
The currently-selected spans.

Remarks

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.
