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