AboutInfo.Init(XafApplication) Method

Initializes the AboutInfo instance.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.SystemModule

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void Init(
    XafApplication application
)

VB.NET

Public Sub Init(
    application As XafApplication
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
application	XafApplication	An XafApplication object that is the current application.

Remarks

The Init method is invoked by the AboutInfoController and AboutInfoControl before showing the about information on the current application. This method initializes the AboutInfo object’s properties with the values of the corresponding properties from the Application Model’s Application node (see IModelApplication). However, if you set the AboutInfo object’s properties in code, the values that are set by this method won’t be considered.

Use this method if you implement a custom Controller or control to show information on the current application in a custom manner.
