How to serialize Content and ContentTemplate properties of a Node in WPF Diagram(SfDiagram)?

1 min read

In WPF Diagram (SfDiagram), we can’t directly serialize the Content and ContentTemplate properties of the Node. We must use custom properties to serialize them. We have prepared a simple sample to achieve how to serialize the Content and ContentTemplate properties of the Node.

XAML

 
            CustomNode node1 = new CustomNode()
            {
                OffsetX = 150,
                OffsetY = 150,
                UnitHeight = 100,
                UnitWidth = 100,
                CustomContent = new NodeContent() { Content = "Node1" },                
                CustomContentTemplate = "NodeTemplate",
            };
 
            (Nodes as NodeCollection).Add(node1);        protected override void OnPropertyChanged(string name)
        {
            base.OnPropertyChanged(name);
            switch (name)
            {
                case "CustomContent":
                    this.Content = this.CustomContent;
                    break;
                case "CustomContentTemplate":
                    this.ContentTemplate = App.Current.Resources[this.CustomContentTemplate] as DataTemplate;
                    break;
            }
        }
