Store Custom Data with the Tag of a ShapeNode (Read 3476 times)

	I wanted to store some custom data as json object to each of the nodes. I tried to use the Tag object but apparently it failed with a message "split" function not found. How can we do this? Also as I see the Tag is currently used to show the title in the NodeListView. Can we have a seperate object property to store custom data. I know Diagram has the SerializeTag/DeserializeTag but that is only useful for Saving/Loading.

	For items in the diagram you can set Tag to any object with simple values; they will be serialized to Json automatically by the framework's built-in JavaScriptSerializer. Code // on server node.Tag = new { Prop1 = "Val1", Prop2 = "Val2" }; // on client function onNodeClicked(sender, args) { alert(args.getNode().getTag().Prop1); } Indeed the NodeListView uses Tag to transfer caption values to the client side, so you can't assign tags to its nodes at this time. We'll add a separate property for captions in the next release. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Thanks Stoyan. That helps confirm. If you set the tag for the NodeListView then it fails so it is a bug right now. Good to hear that you will proactively add a new property to fix it. Thanks Anoop
