Usage

By default RadDataForm will load a label for each editor with the name of its property with some formatting applied. In order to remove this you can use EntityProperty's displayName property and change its value to the empty string. With EntityProperty's imageResource, you can specify the resource name with the image that you would like displayed. You can read here how to add image resources to a {N} application. Here's an example which also sets a hint text so that the purpose of the field is more obvious for the user:

Example 1: Use image resource and hint text instead of displayName for an editor

<df:EntityProperty name="name"
    displayName=""
    imageResource="res://ic_dataform_guest"
    hintText="name" index="0" />
