Databinding of labels on a node

[Sachin]

How do i do Databinding of labels on a node to symbol property or anything except for the ones provided aka text and symbolname.

Hello Sachin,

Why not just implement these properties as part of a custom symbol class using the standard get/set accessors, and provide the required data binding logic within this class? Please elaborate on the issue if I am missing something here.

Sachin,

The best way to go about this would be to use a custom symbol class in your application(or optionally in a separate library) for subclassing your symbol. You will have to use the approach demonstrated in the QuickStart\CustomSymbol sample of providing the PluginAssembly/PluginClass of the subclassing type when designing the symbol in the SymbolDesigner. Once this is done, you can implement get/set accessors in your symbol subclass for the SymbolLabels that require to be bound to your database, and implement the binding functionality from within the subclass. Handling the SymbolLabel''s PropertyChanged event or overriding the OnPropertyChanged method and looking for updates to the ''Text'' property will let you know when a SymbolLabel has undergone an inplace edit, and you can use this hint to effect changes to your data.
