### Description

Gets or sets the object of type [ServerTextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/servertextcontrol/llms-full.txt) that is associated with the DocumentController component. Invoking one of the DocumentController's instance methods will result in an exception being thrown, if the TextComponent property is left unset.

### Syntax

```csharp
public Component TextComponent { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property TextComponent As Component
```

### Examples

The following example creates a new [DocumentServer.DocumentController](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol-documentserver/documentcontroller/llms-full.txt) object and associates a [ServerTextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/servertextcontrol/llms-full.txt) with it:

```csharp
TXTextControl.DocumentController documentController1 = new TXTextControl.DocumentController();
TXTextControl.ServerTextControl serverTextControl1 = new TXTextControl.ServerTextControl();

documentController1.TextComponent = serverTextControl1;
```

```vbnet
Dim DocumentController1 As TXTextControl.DocumentController = New TXTextControl.DocumentController
Dim ServerTextControl1 As TXTextControl.ServerTextControl = New TXTextControl.ServerTextControl

DocumentController1.TextComponent = ServerTextControl1
```

The following example uses `DocumentController.TextComponent` to configure text component as part of the document controller workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
documentController.TextComponent = new System.ComponentModel.Component();
if (documentController.TextComponent != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Document Controller: Text Component is available.");
}
```

```vbnet
documentController.TextComponent = New System.ComponentModel.Component()
If documentController.TextComponent IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Document Controller: Text Component is available.")
End If
```
