Class StreamPick

The base class for all DataSources, especially custom DataSources. It must always be inherited. It provides a lot of core functionality to get configurations, ensure caching and more.

Important: in most cases you will inherit the CustomDataSource DataSource for custom data sources.

The StreamPick DataSource is part of the Standard EAV Data Sources. It will pick a stream from In and pass that on to Out.

How to use with the VisualQuery

When using the VisualQuery you can just drag it into your query. This is what it usually looks like:

In this screenshot you can see:

  1. The DataSource which we are configuring
  2. The stream called True
  3. The stream called False
  4. The configuration which will resolve a token to True or False and thereby pick the stream

Programming With The StreamPick DataSource

We recommend to use the VisualQuery where possible, as it's easier to understand and is identical for C# and JavaScript. It's also better because it separates data-retrieval from visualization.
