Example

This example demonstrates how to customize the appearance and behavior of automatically generated custom map elements. The MapCustomElementSettings class allows specifying parameters of the adapter generated map custom elements.

To do this, assign a MapCustomElementSettings object to the ListSourceDataAdapter.ItemSettings property, and customize one or several of the following properties.

• MapCustomElementSettings.Template - allows specifying the appearance and behavior of custom generated elements.
• MapCustomElementSettings.ContentTemplate - allows specifying the appearance of data displayed in custom elements.
• MapCustomElementSettings.ContentTemplateSelector - allows specifying the selector that chooses a template based on data properties.
