Remarks

This is the abstract base class for BinaryLinkShape.

BinaryLinkShape is the class from which all connector shapes derive. When you define a connector class in the DSL Definition, its default base class is BinaryLinkShape, unless you explicitly specify another connector class as the base.

A BinaryLinkShape is usually the graphical representation of an instance of a domain relationship. The domain relationship represents conceptual information, and the link shape or connector represents its visible appearance on the diagram. In the DSL Definition, you define a Diagram Element Map between the connector class and the domain relationship. At run time, you can access the domain relationship instance by using the property ModelElement. To navigate from one element to another, it is usually better to navigate first to the model element and then traverse the domain relationships, instead of traversing connectors on the diagram.

For more information and examples, see How to: Access a Presentation Element from a Model Element.
