public void Regenerate()
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
RegenerationFailedException Thrown when the operation fails.
  • If regeneration fails, there is posted error of severity DocumentCorruption that will be delivered to the end user at the end of transaction explaining what specifically has happened.
  • If regeneration has failed, document is corrupted and even reading from it is illegal.
  • Code that called regeneration and got this exception should not catch and ignore it - instead, it should do nothing but internal cleanup and return control to the owner of currently active transaction/subtransaction, which must be aborted.
InvalidOperationExceptionModification of the document is forbidden. Typically, this is because there is no open transaction; consult documentation for Document.IsModified for other possible causes.
Remarks
Use this method to force update to the document after a group of changes. Note that when a transaction is committed there is an automatic call to regenerate the document.
