AttributeCustomization extension

Description

This sample demonstrates how to customize and extend the view attributes pages and edit attributes pages. This sample contains two extensions.

• HideAttributeExtension shows how to prevent a particular attribute from being displayed and/or edited.
• FullNameExtension shows how to augment and/or replace the existing attributes for a feature; this extension displays two attributes—FirstName and LastName—as one attribute. To use FullNameExtension, you need to have a layer with a FirstName field and a LastName field.
