Creating User-Defined View Types

It is sometimes necessary to create user-defined view types. A user-defined view type is a class that derives from IlsMvView. Once your object model server contains user-defined view types, you will want to use them from within the Server Studio environment.

To do so:

1. Load the model to the Server Data Source inspector.

2. Open the context-sensitive menu by clicking on the right mouse button on the view relation.

3. From the popup menu, choose Set View Class to have the current view created with an instance of this class.

   When you choose this command, you see that the view relation changes to point to your class. Normally, it points to IlsMvView.
