VectorTileDataProviderBase Class

The base class for vector tile data providers.

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v24.1.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public abstract class VectorTileDataProviderBase :
    ImageTileDataProvider,
    IVectorTileStreamProvider

Public MustInherit Class VectorTileDataProviderBase
    Inherits ImageTileDataProvider
    Implements IVectorTileStreamProvider

Remarks

Follow the steps below to implement a provider that loads tiles from a custom source.

Create a provider class that implements VectorTileDataProviderBase.
Implement the VectorTileDataProviderBase.GetStream method so that it returns a tile as a sequence of bytes for specific coordinates in the tile grid at the specified zoom level.

Assign the provider to the ImageLayer.DataProvider property.
