Custom Property Editor in Xaf

Xaf is what, if you haven't heard of it, this article may not help you, but if you are looking for a solution to the same problem hopefully it will help. (Note: The examples are all under Web engineering, win engineering is the same principle)

XAF automatically generates the UI from the business class. Automatically generates the required property editors based on the types of properties of the business class. For example, for a string type attribute in a business class, a text box is generated (as seen from the interface). Generates a date selection box for the properties of the DateTime type.

Common property Editor classes are shown in the following table (under Web Engineering):

tr> TD style= "BORDER:0;PADDING:0;" > dropdown box

tpye	propertyed Itortype
string< /td>	devexpress.expressapp.web.editors.aspx.aspxstringproertyeditor	show text box
int32	devexp Ress. ExpressApp.Web.Editors.ASPx.ASPxIntProertyEditor	show adjustable digital input box
boolean		check button
datetime	devexpres S.expressapp.web.editors.aspx.aspXdatetimeproertyeditor	time frame
enum	devexpress.expressapp.web.editors.aspx.aspxenumproertyeditor
devexpress.expressapp.web.editors.aspx.aspxlookuppropertyeditor	dropdown box, Typically, a one-to-many relationship is formed with this object

When you create a business class, these objects are automatically associated with the properties of the business class and do not need to be declared. You can also select a different property editor. Can be in the Xafml file application | views | Items | PropertyEditor Node or application | views | Items | PropertyEditor node found. Such as:

corresponding to the Rating property application | views | Items | PropertyEditor node:

<Application>
　　　 <Views>
　　　　　　 <DetailView　ID="Song_DetailView">
　　　　　　　　　 <Items>
　　　　　　　　　　　　 <PropertyEditor　PropertyName="Rating"
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 PropertyEditorType="MySolution.Module.Web.MySolutionAspNetModule.WebStarRatingPropertyEditor"　/>
　　　　　　　　　 </Items>
　　　　　　 </DetailView>
　　　 </Views>
</Application>

corresponding to the Rating property application | Bomodel | Class | Member Node:

<Application>
　　　 <Views>
　　　　　　 <DetailView　ID="Song_DetailView">
　　　　　　　　　 <Items>
　　　　　　　　　　　　 <PropertyEditor　PropertyName="Rating"
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 PropertyEditorType="MySolution.Module.Web.MySolutionAspNetModule.WebStarRatingPropertyEditor"　/>
　　　　　　　　　 </Items>
　　　　　　 </DetailView>
　　　 </Views>
</Application>
