    CustomProperties Property (ElementInfo)
    In This Topic
    Gets and sets any associated custom properties
    Syntax
    public IList<CIMStringMap> CustomProperties {get; set;}
    Public Property CustomProperties As IList(Of CIMStringMap)
    Remarks
    Custom properties, if provided, must be either strings or serializable to string
    Example
    Create Point Element
    //Must be on QueuedTask.Run(() => { ...
    
    //Build geometry
    Coordinate2D coord2D = new Coordinate2D(2.0, 10.0);
    
    //Reference a point symbol in a style
    StyleProjectItem stylePrjItm = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>()
             .FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name == "ArcGIS 2D");
    SymbolStyleItem symStyleItm = stylePrjItm.SearchSymbols(
                          StyleItemType.PointSymbol, "City Hall")[0];
    CIMPointSymbol pointSym = symStyleItm.Symbol as CIMPointSymbol;
    pointSym.SetSize(50);

         new CIMStringMap() { Key = "Key2", Value = "Value2"}
       },
      Anchor = Anchor.TopRightCorner,
      Rotation = 45.0
    };
    
    var graphic = GraphicFactory.Instance.CreateSimpleGraphic(
                                  coord2D.ToMapPoint(), pointSym);
    
    ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(
      container, graphic, "New Point", true, elemInfo);
    
    Create Table Frame
    //Create a table frame.
    
    //Construct on the worker thread
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      //Build 2D envelope geometry
      Coordinate2D rec_ll = new Coordinate2D(1.0, 3.5);
      Coordinate2D rec_ur = new Coordinate2D(7.5, 4.5);
      //At 2.x - Envelope rec_env = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(rec_ll, rec_ur);
      Envelope rec_env = EnvelopeBuilderEx.CreateEnvelope(rec_ll, rec_ur);
    
      //Reference map frame and layer
      MapFrame mf = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;
      FeatureLayer lyr = mf.Map.FindLayers("GreatLakes").First() as FeatureLayer;
    
      //Build fields list
      var fields = new[] { "NAME", "Shape_Area", "Shape_Length" };
    
      //Construct the table frame
      //At 2.x - TableFrame tabFrame = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateTableFrame(
      //              layout, rec_env, mf, lyr, fields);
    
      var tableFrameInfo = new TableFrameInfo()
      {
        FieldNames = fields,
        MapFrameName = mf.Name,
        MapMemberUri = lyr.URI
      };
      var tabFrame = ElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapSurroundElement(
        layout, rec_env, tableFrameInfo) as TableFrame;
    });
