Property Templates

Topic updated 17-10-2007

Property Templates are used as child templates of Databound Control Templates to display databound properties of business objects. Every Property Template instance generates the source code to display a single databound property.

 

Example

The template tree below shows a Browse Template that uses various Property Templates:

BaseProperty Templates are used for a number of databound properties: Member_id, Name, Street, Zipcode, Town, Gender, CountryCode, Countries.Name.
A DateTime Property Template is used for the datetime value Member_since.
A Lookup Property Template for the Countries entity extends the Datasource of the Browse Template to include it. This makes it possible to use Countries.Name.

Notice that in addition to the Property Templates, the Browse Template also has a Browse Locator Template and various Action Templates.
