How To Change Name for Node

[cuongnq]

foreach ( EmpObj Emp in alemployees )
{
// Create a EmployeeSymbol for each employee in the organization and add the membersymbol to
// the diagram.

int x = (int)Session["X"];
int y = (int)Session["Y"];

Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle nodeEmp = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(x, y, 200, 60);

can I change the Name of nodeEmp when change value in command foreach

I want nodeEmp into nodeEmp1,nodeEmp2...nodeEmpN:(N is value of foreach run)
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle nodeEmp1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(x, y, 200, 60);


Plz help me
Thanks

Hi Cuongnq,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion product.

If your intention is to set the name for the nodes then you can use node.Name property. Please refer to the following code snippet

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
// Create a EmployeeSymbol for each employee in the organization and add the membersymbol to
// the diagram.

int x = 50 + i * 50;
int y = 60;
Rectangle m_rect1 = new Rectangle(x, y, 120, 58);
this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.AppendChild(m_rect1);

}

foreach (INode node in this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.Nodes)
{
Node m_node=node as Node;
m_node.Name = string.Format("Rect{0}", ++i);
Response.Write(m_node.Name);
}

I have attached the sample that demonstrates this completely.

Please refr to the sample and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for reply!
When i use your code:
----------------------
foreach (INode node in this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.Nodes) { Node m_node=node as Node;
m_node.Name = string.Format("Rect{0}",++i);
Response.Write(m_node.Name);
}
----------------------
If in the diagram have a node is LineConnector(LineConnector) and I use Node.Name then

"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

How i control about that?

Hi Cuongnq,

You can try setting the name property of the LineConnector after attached the LineConnector in a DIagram Model. Please refer to the following code snippet

NodeCollection coll = new NodeCollection();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
// Create a EmployeeSymbol for each employee in the organization and add the membersymbol to
// the diagram.

int x = 50 + i * 50;
int y = 60 + i * 100;
Rectangle m_rect1 = new Rectangle(x, y, 120, 58);
this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.AppendChild(m_rect1);
coll.Add(m_rect1);

}
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
if (i + 1 < 10)
{
Node node1 = coll[i] as Node;
Node node2 = coll[i + 1] as Node;
LineConnector line = new LineConnector(node1.PinPoint, node2.PinPoint);

this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.AppendChild(line);
node1.CentralPort.TryConnect(line.HeadEndPoint);
node2.CentralPort.TryConnect(line.TailEndPoint);
}
}

foreach (INode node in this.DiagramWebControl1.Model.Nodes)
{
Node m_node=node as Node;
if(m_node is Rectangle)
{
m_node.Name = string.Format("Rect{0}", ++i);
Response.Write(m_node.Name);
}
if (m_node is LineConnector)
{
m_node.Name = string.Format("LineConnector{0}", ++j);
Response.Write(m_node.Name);
}

}
