DashboardDesigner - How to customize data source wizard to display only predefined data connections

This example demonstrates how to use the DashboardDesigner.DataSourceWizardCustomization to replace the default pages of the data source wizard with custom ones:

[C#]
dashboardDesigner1.DataSourceWizardCustomization=newDataSourceWizardCustomization();

We use following code to skip first page which allows selecting the data source type, and specify custom a wizard page that allows selecting one of the predefined connections. This custom page does not allow establishing a new connection:

[C#]
publicclassDataSourceWizardCustomization:IDashboardDataSourceWizardCustomization{publicvoidCustomizeDataSourceWizard(IWizardCustomization<DashboardDataSourceModel>customization){customization.StartPage=typeof(ChooseConnectionPage<DashboardDataSourceModel>);customization.Model.DataSourceType=DashboardDataSourceType.Xpo;customization.RegisterPageView<IChooseConnectionPageView,CustomChooseConnectionPageView>();}}

To specify default connections in code behind, use the DashboardDesigner.CustomDataConnections Property.
