How To Serialize the Custom Property Of a Node
29 Feb 20161 minute to read
Essential Diagram supports custom serialization. To serialize the custom property, you should derive the Group class and create a custom node. After creating a custom node, you should override the GetObjectData() method and add the custom property in the SerializationInfo. This is illustrated in the below code snippet.
[Serializable()]
public class CustomNode : Group
{
protected CustomNode(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base(info, context)
{
this.m_nodeInformation = info.GetString("strDescription");
}
protected override void GetObjectData(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
{
base.GetObjectData(info, context);
// Additional member variables are serialized here.
info.AddValue("strDescription", this.NodeInformation);
}
}<Serializable()>
Public Class CustomNode
Inherits Group
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Protected Sub New(ByVal info As SerializationInfo, ByVal context As StreamingContext)
MyBase.New(info, context)
Me.m_nodeInformation = info.GetString("strDescription")
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub GetObjectData(ByVal info As SerializationInfo, ByVal context As StreamingContext)
MyBase.GetObjectData(info, context)
' Additional member variables are serialized here.
info.AddValue("strDescription", Me.NodeInformation)
End Sub
End Class
