### Description

Sets a base path saved in the document that is used to resolve relative file paths.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string DocumentBasePath { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property DocumentBasePath As String
```

### Examples

The following example resolves relative document resources against an application-owned assets directory. The configured base settings are then used by the appropriate load or save operation.

```csharp
loadSaveSettingsBase.DocumentBasePath = Path.GetFullPath("DocumentAssets");
if (loadSaveSettingsBase is LoadSettings loadSettings)
{
    textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, loadSettings);
}
else if (loadSaveSettingsBase is SaveSettings saveSettings)
{
    textControl.Save("configured-document.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, saveSettings);
}
```

```vbnet
loadSaveSettingsBase.DocumentBasePath = Path.GetFullPath("DocumentAssets")
If TypeOf loadSaveSettingsBase Is LoadSettings Then
    textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, DirectCast(loadSaveSettingsBase, LoadSettings))
ElseIf TypeOf loadSaveSettingsBase Is SaveSettings Then
    textControl.Save("configured-document.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, DirectCast(loadSaveSettingsBase, SaveSettings))
End If
```
