TemplatesModelNodeGenerator Class

A Nodes Generator that generates the content of the IModelTemplates node.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Model.NodeGenerators

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public class TemplatesModelNodeGenerator :
    ModelNodesGeneratorBase

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Class TemplatesModelNodeGenerator
    Inherits ModelNodesGeneratorBase

Remarks

This class is a ModelNodesGeneratorBase descendant, that implements an empty GenerateNodesCore method, so it generates nothing. However, as it is attached to the Templates node, you can implement a Generator Updater for this Generator, and customize the Templates node.

To customize the content of the Templates node, implement a Generator Updater for this Nodes Generator by inheriting the ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<T> class in the following manner:

C#

public class Updater : ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater<NavigationItemNodeGenerator> {
    public override void UpdateNode(ModelNode node) {
        // Cast the 'node' parameter to IModelTemplates
        // to access the Templates node.
    }
}

VB.NET

Public Class Updater
    Inherits ModelNodesGeneratorUpdater(Of )
    Public Overrides Sub UpdateNode(ByVal node As ModelNode)
        ' Cast the 'node' parameter to IModelTemplates
        ' to access the Templates node.
    End Sub
End Class

The Generator Updater above should be registered within the overridden ModuleBase.AddGeneratorUpdaters method.
