ImageTileDataProvider.TileSource Property

Gets or sets a tile source for the image tile provider.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

Declaration

C#

public ImageTileSource TileSource { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property TileSource As ImageTileSource

Property Value

Type	Description
ImageTileSource	An ImageTileSource descendant object.

Example

This example shows how to use an ImageTileDataProvider instance to generate map tiles.

• Create an ImageTileDataProvider object and assign it to the ImageLayer.DataProvider property.
• Create a class that inherits the ImageTileSource class.
• Implement the interface’s ImageTileSource.GetImageSource method that returns a bitmap for each tile based on its indices and the map control’s zoom level.
• Assign an instance of the class you developed to the ImageTileDataProvider.TileSource property.
