Definition

SetText(ReadOnlySpan<char>)

Sets the text content without allocating a managed string.
public void SetText(ReadOnlySpan<char> text)

Parameters

text

ReadOnlySpan<char>
The character span to set as the element's text content.

Remarks

Unlike assigning to _text, this method writes directly into an internal native buffer and defers string materialization until _text is read. A ChangeEvent<T> of type 
string
is raised only when listeners for value-change events exist in the element's hierarchy; when no such listeners are present, the method is fully allocation-free.
