To incorporate google map in our XAF app

Hello Lars,

There are some issues on the documentation page that you used. Below I will describe what you need to do to make GeoPoint work.

1. You don't need to override RegisterEditorDescriptors and ExtendModelInterfaces methods in your WebModule.cs and RegisterEditorDescriptors in your Module.cs.
2. You need to modify your ClassWithGeoPoint class so its content should be like this:
   
   [DefaultClassOptions]
   public class ClassWithGeoPoint : BaseObject
   {
   public ClassWithGeoPoint(Session session)
   : base(session)
   {
   }

   public override void AfterConstruction()
   {
   base.AfterConstruction();
   this.Point = new GeoPoint();
   }

   private string title;
   private string office;
   private GeoPoint point;

   public string Title
   {
   get { return title; }
   set { SetPropertyValue("Title", ref title, value); }
   }

   public string Office
   {
   get { return office; }
   set { SetPropertyValue("Office", ref office, value); }
   }

   [ValueConverter(typeof(GeoPointConverter))]
public GeoPoint Point
{
get { return point; }
set { this.SetPropertyValue("Point", ref point, value); }
}
}


3. Add a class GeoPointConverter to your project.
   
   public class GeoPointConverter : ValueConverter
   {
   public override object ConvertFromStorageType(object value)
   {
   if (value == null)
   return null;
   return GeoPoint.Parse(value);
   }

   public override object ConvertToStorageType(object value)
   {
   if (value == null)
   return null;
   return value.ToString();
   }

   public override Type StorageType
{
get { return typeof(String); }
}
}


Let me know if you have further questions.

Hello Lars,

You can use GeoPoint in your DC-based application almost the same way as in a XPO-based app.
Here is the sample domain component with GeoPoint.

[DomainComponent]
[DefaultClassOptions]
public interface GeoPointDomainComponent
{
string Title { get; set; }

[ValueConverter(typeof(GeoPointConverter))]
GeoPoint Point { get; set; }
}

Here is the sample domain logic for the domain component.

[DomainLogic(typeof(GeoPointDomainComponent))]
public class DomainComponent1Logic {
public static void AfterConstruction(GeoPointDomainComponent instance) {
instance.Point = new GeoPoint();
}
}

Also do not forget to register entity in the Setup method of the Module.

XafTypesInfo.Instance.RegisterEntity("GeoPointDomainComponent", typeof(GeoPointDomainComponent));


Let me know if this information helps.

Nikolay.
