Before you start:
You must complete the following tasks:To control how the properties of your node are displayed, create a property editor by using the IPropertyEditor interface. A property editor can contain many controls, such as text fields and lists.
To create a custom compiler, for example to encrypt a value before sending it to the server, use the IPropertyCompiler interface.
To test your property editor, launch another instance of the workbench (see Enabling PDE runtime capabilities) and select . See the PDE Guide for more information about testing using the Runtime Workbench for testing your node.
To test your compiler, deploy to a broker the flow that contains your user-defined node.
