Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Diagram.v20.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.Diagram, DevExpress.Wpf.Diagram

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public string TemplateName { get; set; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Property TemplateName As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string value that is the name of the template.

Remarks

By default, the uppermost connector and diagram item defined in XAML within the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.TemplateDiagram are used as templates for the connectors and diagram items representing data objects.

You can use the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.GenerateItem and DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.GenerateConnector events to implement custom logic for choosing the item and connector template. To do this, create diagram items/connectors in the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.TemplateDiagram and specify their names using the TemplateName property. Specify the name of the desired template as the event’s CreateItemFromTemplate/CreateConnectorFromTemplate method parameter.

Alternatively, you can use the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.ItemTemplateSelector property.
