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;
}
}
