Reshape overlapping polygons after editing vertices

Question

I am working on an application that allows users to update polygons using the Editor Class (not the Editorwidget) and the EditVertices function.  After a user updates a polygon, they may overlap an adjoining polygon.  I take the resulting geometry and query for all polygons that overlap.  I would like to use the Reshape Function to reshape these overlapping polygons based on the new geometry.  How can I call call the reshape function in code to modify these overlapping polygons.

I would think this is something that alot of developers would need to do in an online editing situation.

Thanks.

Thanks.  I wrote a solution using the geometry service.  I want the operation to run without user interaction.   I was curious if I could run the editor.Reshape without user interaction and you answered my question. Thank you for your assistance.

You can call Reshape in code-behind, but drawing the cutter is still interactive.
if(editor.Reshape.CanExecute(null)) // this is true if there are selected features
    editor.Reshape.Execute(null); // activates Reshape, you can begin drawing the cutter.

If you already have the cutter, you can use GeometryService to do Reshape.

Thanks.  I am going to call the Geometry Service as described in the sample.  I was thinking that I could use the Editor class in code rather than interactively, but I can not find any good explanation of how to do this.  The geometry service should do the trick.
