I want to add more property for every shape
So I tried to create a cusom class that inherited from Nshape
but I failed because the Nshape has no new construction and is created by factory
How could I implement this functionality

Hi,
You can set any custom object to the Tag property of the shape. The Tag by itself is not used by the diagram, so this gives you the ability to attach any custom information to any diagram element. There are several requirements that custom tag objects must implement:
1. They need to be marked as [Serializable].
2. They need to implement the ICloneable interface.
3. They need to have a default public constructor.

I did the three points and still giving error while saving

Hi, you should create a class that hold the additinal properties you want and assign an instance of it to the Tag property of a shape. The class should implement the 3 points mentioned above. Have you done that? If yes and there's still a problem, please send your code to support@nevron.com and we'll tell you what's wrong.

could u plz send a sample class

Hi, Here's a sample implementation of a class you can use as a Tag property for your shapes: [Serializable] public class NShapeExt : ICloneable { public NShapeExt() { m_bMyProperty1 = true; m_sMyProperty2 = String.Empty; } public bool MyProperty1 { get { return m_bMyProperty1; } set { m_bMyProperty1 = value; } } public string MyProperty2 { get { return m_sMyProperty2; } set { m_sMyProperty2 = value; } } public object Clone() { NShapeExt shapeExt = new NShapeExt(); shapeExt.m_bMyProperty1 = m_bMyProperty1; shapeExt.m_sMyProperty2 = m_sMyProperty2; return shapeExt; } private bool m_bMyProperty1; private string m_sMyProperty2; }

Sorry , but still sending the same error :
Failed to save to file. Exception was: There was an error generating the XML document.
and it is only about the tag, if i remove the tag it will save successfully

Hi, the serializable attribute affects only the binary serialization. So the sample class is meant to be serialized binary. If you want to use the XML serialization with a custom class it should implement the IXmlSerializable interface.

This is my class and still not saving and give this message "Failed to save to file. Exception was: There was an error generating the XML document."
so please if you have a sample or if you can help me where is the error

We double checked the issue. In order to serialize a custom object to XML you need to register it with the serializer.
This is demonstrated in the following example:
Serialization > Persistency Manager
The code to do it is the following: // IMPORTANT: custom types added to the DOM must be registered // in the persistency manager if you intend to save/load in XML format persistencyManager.Serializer.XmlExtraTypes = new Type[] {typeof(NCustomShape)}; Hope this helps - questions or comments - please feel free...

Still sending the same error
Failed to save to file. Exception was: There was an error generating the XML document.
I wonder, I put a breakpoint in the load xml and save xml in the custom property class and the compiler not going to this line

What if you use something like below?
public class NFaiencePolygonShape: NPolygonShape
{
#region CTors
public NFaiencePolygonShape() { }
public NFaiencePolygonShape(NPointF[] points): base(points)
{
}
public NFaiencePolygonShape(NPolygonPath primitive): base(primitive)
{
}
#endregion
#region Properties
private string _Key = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
public string Key { get { return _Key; } }
public int XPFaienceId { get; set; }
public FaienceDisplayMode FaienceDisplayMode { get; set; }
public bool AutoDecorate { get; set; }
public float DerzWidth { get; set; }
public float OffsetX { get; set; }
public float OffsetY { get; set; }
public float RotationAngle { get; set; }
public Color DerzColor { get; set; }
public float Tracker { get; set; }
public int TamFayansCount { get; set; }
public int BrokenFayansCount { get; set; }
#endregion
