using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Utilities; ITextBuffer buffer = new TextBufferFactoryService().CreateTextBuffer("initial content");
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text; ITextBuffer buffer = /* get buffer instance */; string content = buffer.CurrentSnapshot.GetText();In this code, we are calling the GetCurrentSnapshot method on the buffer instance to retrieve a snapshot of its current content. We then call the GetText method on the snapshot to retrieve a string representation of the content. Package library: The ITextBuffer class is part of the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Data namespace, which is included in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Data package.
