IAreaInfo Interface

Declares properties of business objects that can be displayed as an area on a vector map using the Maps Module.

Namespace: DevExpress.Persistent.Base

Assembly: DevExpress.Persistent.Base.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public interface IAreaInfo

VB.NET

Public Interface IAreaInfo

Remarks

You can implement this interface in an XPO or Entity Framework business object. As a result, the WebVectorMapsListEditor will be used to display List Views of this business object. Each object is displayed as a map area. An object’s Detail View is displayed after clicking an area.

XPO Example

C#

using DevExpress.Xpo;
using DevExpress.Persistent.Base;
using DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl;
// ...
[DefaultProperty("Title"), NavigationItem(false)]
public class VectorMapsListEditorDemoObject : BaseObject, IAreaInfo {
    public VectorMapsListEditorDemoObject(Session session) : base(session) { }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    [Association("USAState-Stores"), Aggregated]
    public XPCollection<MapsListEditorDemoObject> Stores {
        get { return GetCollection<MapsListEditorDemoObject>("Stores"); }
    }
    string IAreaInfo.Tooltip {
        get {
            string tooltipStr = Title;
            int storesCount = Stores.Count;
            if(storesCount > 0) {
                tooltipStr += string.Format("<br> {0} store{1}", storesCount, storesCount == 1 ? "" : "s");
            }
            return tooltipStr;
        }
    }
    float IAreaInfo.Value {
        get {
            return Stores.Count;
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpo
Imports DevExpress.Persistent.Base
Imports DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl
' ...
<DefaultProperty("Title"), NavigationItem(False)> _
Public Class VectorMapsListEditorDemoObject
    Inherits BaseObject
    Implements IAreaInfo

        MyBase.New(session)
    End Sub
    Public Property Title() As String
    <Association("USAState-Stores"), Aggregated> _
    Public ReadOnly Property Stores() As XPCollection(Of MapsListEditorDemoObject)
        Get
            Return GetCollection(Of MapsListEditorDemoObject)("Stores")
        End Get
    End Property
    Private ReadOnly Property IAreaInfo_Tooltip() As String Implements IAreaInfo.Tooltip
        Get
            Dim tooltipStr As String = Title
            Dim storesCount As Integer = Stores.Count
            If storesCount > 0 Then
                tooltipStr &= String.Format("<br> {0} store{1}", storesCount,If(storesCount = 1, "", "s"))
            End If
            Return tooltipStr
        End Get
    End Property
    Private ReadOnly Property IAreaInfo_Value() As Single Implements IAreaInfo.Value
        Get
            Return Stores.Count
        End Get
    End Property
End Class
