Remarks

You can pass the name of a property that stores a user image to the CurrentUserDisplayImage attribute to display this image in the application toolbar.

Follow the steps below to extend a user class with a property that stores a user image:

1. In a user business class, declare a property of the MediaDataObject (XPO/EF Core), Image, or byte[] type.

2. Apply CurrentUserDisplayImageAttribute to the user class and pass the new property name as its parameter.

   XPO

   C#

   using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;
   using DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl;
   // ...
   [CurrentUserDisplayImage(nameof(Photo))]
   public class MyAppUser : PermissionPolicyUser, IObjectSpaceLink, ISecurityUserWithLoginInfo {
       // ...
       private MediaDataObject photo;
       public MediaDataObject Photo {
           get { return photo; }
           set { SetPropertyValue(nameof(Photo), ref photo, value); }
       }
   }
   

   EF Core

   C#

   using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;
   using DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl;
   // ...
   [CurrentUserDisplayImage(nameof(Photo))]
   public class MyAppUser : PermissionPolicyUser, IObjectSpaceLink, ISecurityUserWithLoginInfo {
       // ...
       private MediaDataObject photo;
       public virtual MediaDataObject Photo {
           get { return photo; }
           set { SetReferencePropertyValue(ref photo, value); }
       }
   }
