e.Connection.Source data not set in ConnectionManipulationStarted?

[Kristoffer]

private void diagram_ConnectionManipulationStarted(object sender, ManipulationRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MyShape source = e.Connection.Source as MyShape;
    // source.MyData == null?
}

We're trying to add logic for connection manipulation. Why isn't our custom data set in this event when it is indeed set for our nodes in the graph?

Hello,

 assuming that 'MyData' is a custom property there is no way we change that in the RadDiagram code. The Source property will return the shape where the connection starts and is presumably a custom shape. If the Source of the connection is indeed of type 'MyShape' and its 'MyData' is null, it means you have not set it. If 'source' is null then it means the Source shape is not of the 'MyShape' type, but then you would get an exception trying to access the 'MyData' property on the null instance.
Unless you show only part of the code and there is some more logic/code in the loop?

You're right. We had to set it in GetShapeContainerForItemOverride(object item)

Thanks.
