# How to: Manipulate a FlowDocument through the Blocks Property
These examples demonstrate some of the more common operations that can be performed on a <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument> through the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.Blocks%2A> property.
## Example
The following example creates a new <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument> and then appends a new <xref:System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph> element to the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.
[!code-csharp[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksAdd](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#_flowdocumentblocksadd)]
[!code-vb[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksAdd](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/visualbasic/window1.xaml.vb#_flowdocumentblocksadd)]
## Example
The following example creates a new <xref:System.Windows.Documents.Paragraph> element and inserts it at the beginning of the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.
[!code-csharp[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksInsert](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#_flowdocumentblocksinsert)]
[!code-vb[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksInsert](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/visualbasic/window1.xaml.vb#_flowdocumentblocksinsert)]
## Example
The following example gets the number of top-level <xref:System.Windows.Documents.Block> elements contained in the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.
[!code-csharp[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksCount](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#_flowdocumentblockscount)]
[!code-vb[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksCount](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/visualbasic/window1.xaml.vb#_flowdocumentblockscount)]
## Example
The following example deletes the last <xref:System.Windows.Documents.Block> element in the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.
[!code-csharp[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksRemoveLast](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#_flowdocumentblocksremovelast)]
[!code-vb[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksRemoveLast](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/visualbasic/window1.xaml.vb#_flowdocumentblocksremovelast)]
## Example
The following example clears all of the contents (<xref:System.Windows.Documents.Block> elements) from the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument>.
[!code-csharp[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksClear](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#_flowdocumentblocksclear)]
[!code-vb[FlowDocumentSnippets#_FlowDocumentBlocksClear](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FlowDocumentSnippets/visualbasic/window1.xaml.vb#_flowdocumentblocksclear)]
