| Property | Description |

| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| AddExtraDiffStore(String, ModelStoreBase) | Adds extra model differences storage. |
Remarks
The Application Model‘s base content formed from the code can be changed via the Model Editor. When the Application Model is loaded, the changes from the Model.xafml file are superimposed on the content generated previously. To load the changes saved to the Model.xafml file, a special storage is used. It finds this file near the executable file in the application project and load changes to the Application Model. For details, refer to the Model Difference Storages article.
If you need to store the Model.xafml file in a custom resource (e.g., in a Web service or register), implement your own storage by inheriting from the ModelDifferenceStore abstract class. To make the system use your storage, handle the CreateCustomModelDifferenceStore event and set it for the handler’s Store parameter. To prohibit the creation of the default storage object, set the handler’s Handled parameter to true.
Note
If you need to modify the mechanism of Application Model differences store in both an ASP.NET Web Forms and Windows Forms application, you need to use an individual handler in the ASP.NET Web Forms and Windows Forms application.
To see an example of using the CreateCustomModelDifferenceStore event, refer to the How to: Store the Application Model Differences in the Database topic. To use a custom storage for saving and loading an end-user’s Application Model changes, handle the XafApplication.CreateCustomUserModelDifferenceStore event.
