How do I provide a custom data as a DataProvider for ImageTilesLayer on a mapControl in XAML file?

I am new to WPF and DevExpress. I was trying a few examples given in the DevExpress documentation site.

Link: How to Load Image Tiles from Another Source

In the example, How to Load Image Tiles from Another Source given in their site, the DataProvider for a ImageTilesLayer is assigned in the code behind file. Is it possible to mention the same DataProvider in the XAML instead of the code behind file?

Solution

You can assign the ImageTilesLayer.DataProvider property in XAML as follows:

<dxc:MapControl>
    <dxc:ImageTilesLayer>
        <dxc:ImageTilesLayer.DataProvider>
            <local:CustomMapDataProvider/>
        </dxc:ImageTilesLayer.DataProvider>
    </dxc:ImageTilesLayer>
</dxc:MapControl>

P.S.
