Namespace: DevExpress.XtraDiagram
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraDiagram.v18.2.dll

public virtual IKeySelector KeySelector { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
DevExpress.Diagram.Core.IKeySelector | An object implementing the DevExpress.Diagram.Core.IKeySelector interface. |
Remarks
Use the KeySelector property to define a custom logic for choosing the data field that identifies the data item (e.g., when binding to data with multiple types of data objects). To do this, implement the GetKey method of the DevExpress.Diagram.Core.IKeySelector interface, so that it returns the data field that identifies the data item. See the example below.
diagramDataBindingController1.KeySelector = new DatabaseDefinitionKeySelector();
//...
public class DatabaseDefinitionKeySelector : IKeySelector {
object IKeySelector.GetKey(object obj) {
if(obj is TableDefinition)
return ((TableDefinition)obj).Name;
else if(obj is ColumnDefinition)
return ((ColumnDefinition)obj).Id;
return obj;
}
}
