By default, the uppermost connector and diagram item defined in XAML within the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.TemplateDiagram are used as templates for the connectors and diagram items representing data objects.
You can use the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.GenerateItem and DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.GenerateConnector events to implement custom logic for choosing the item and connector template. To do this, create diagram items/connectors in the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.TemplateDiagram and specify their names using the TemplateName property. Specify the name of the desired template as the event’s CreateItemFromTemplate / CreateConnectorFromTemplate method parameter.
Alternatively, you can use the DiagramDataBindingBehaviorBase.ItemTemplateSelector property.
