Where does DocumentStyle live in the IronWord API?

DocumentStyle is an abstract class in the IronWord.Models.Abstract namespace, shipped in IronWord.dll. It derives from System.Object and is the base for the concrete Style type.

What does StyleId do on a DocumentStyle in C#?

StyleId is the identifier that ties content to its style definition. Status tracks whether the style is new or updated, Clone makes a deep copy for deriving a variant, and SetNoChangeStatusAsUpdated forces the style to be re-written on save.

Namespace: IronWord.Models.Abstract

Assembly: IronWord.dll

Syntax

public abstract class DocumentStyle : Object

Sharing common style identity across a document in C# is what DocumentStyle underpins. It is the base that a defined style descends from, giving any style a stable identifier and a change-tracking flag so IronWord can apply, copy, and persist it consistently. The concrete style type that extends it in the library is Style, which a developer normally works with directly.

A DocumentStyle is obtained as the base of a Style you build or read from a document, not created on its own, since the type is abstract. StyleId is the name that ties content to its style definition, and Status records whether the style is new, updated, or unchanged so the save pipeline writes the right state. Clone returns a deep copy when you want to derive a variant without altering the original. SetNoChangeStatusAsUpdated marks an otherwise-unchanged style as updated, which forces it to be re-emitted on save.

using IronWord.Models;

Style style = new Style();
style.StyleId = "Heading1";

The add style text how-to applies styling to content, and the add text how-to shows where styled runs fit.
