The storage catalog is defined in the Leadtools.Medical.Storage.DataAccessLayer.dll assembly. The catalog defines a mapping between the Leadtools.Medical.Storage.DataAccessLayer classes and the database schema. The catalog contains definitions for all table names in the database schema, and all columns of each table. The storage catalog is defined as an xml file. You will create a storage catalog for the tutorial database.
You will also need to define a class that derives from class CatalogEntity for each table in your database. For this tutorial, we define four classes (one for each table). The storage catalog is linked to the four classes below:
The structure of the catalog consists of one or more <Entity> elements, followed by one or more <Element> elements. Each <Entity> element corresponds to a database table. Each <Element> element corresponds to a database table column.
<CatalogDataSet>
<Entity>...</Entity>
<Entity>...</Entity>
...
<Element>...</Element>
<Element>...</Element>
...
</CatalogDataSet>
You must define a storage catalog for your database schema. For the tutorial schema, there are four tables. These are the <Entity> elements for each table:
<Entity>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<EntityName>MyPatientTable</EntityName>
<DisplayName>MyPatientTable</DisplayName>
</Entity>
<Entity>
<EntityKey>StudyTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<EntityName>MyStudyTable</EntityName>
<DisplayName>MyStudyTable</DisplayName>
</Entity>
<Entity>
<EntityKey>SeriesTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<EntityName>MySeriesTable</EntityName>
<DisplayName>MySeriesTable</DisplayName>
</Entity>
<Entity>
<EntityKey>InstanceTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<EntityName>MyInstanceTable</EntityName>
<DisplayName>MyInstanceTable</DisplayName>
</Entity>
The description of each element is given below:
Element |
Description |
<EntityKey> |
· any name that uniquely identifies the table. · When defining your class MyPatient,
|
<EntityName> |
· name of the database table that holds the patient information · For the tutorial database, the patient table is called MyPatient
|
<DisplayName> |
· not used |
There must be an <Element> element for each table column in your database schema that can be queried. For example, in the Database Manager of the Storage Server Manager, you can query the following fields, so all must have a corresponding <Element> element in the storage catalog.

For the tutorial, the primary key of each of the four tables is an automatically generated primary key. These are the only columns that will not have a corresponding <Element> element.
For example, the MyPatientTable has seven columns, so there will be six <Element> elements in the catalog (because MyPatientTable.PatientId is not queried directly – so no <Element> element is defined).
<Element>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<ElementKey>PatientIdentification</ElementKey>
<ElementName>PatientIdentification</ElementName>
<DisplayName>Patient ID</DisplayName>
<KeyElement>false</KeyElement>
</Element>
<Element>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<ElementKey>PatientName</ElementKey>
<ElementName>PatientName</ElementName>
<DisplayName>Family Name</DisplayName>
<KeyElement>false</KeyElement>
</Element>
<Element>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<ElementKey>PatientBirthday</ElementKey>
<ElementName>PatientBirthday</ElementName>
<DisplayName>Birth Date</DisplayName>
<KeyElement>false</KeyElement>
</Element>
<Element>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<ElementKey>PatientSex</ElementKey>
<ElementName>PatientSex</ElementName>
<DisplayName>Sex</DisplayName>
<KeyElement>false</KeyElement>
</Element>
<Element>
<EntityKey>PatientTableEntityKey</EntityKey>
<ElementKey>PatientComments</ElementKey>
<ElementName>PatientComments</ElementName>
<DisplayName>Comments</DisplayName>
<KeyElement>false</KeyElement>
</Element>
The description of each element is given below:
Element |
Description |
<EntityKey> |
· The table name <EntityKey> to which the element belongs · For the patient table, this is ‘PatientTableEntityKey’
|
<ElementKey>
|
· The MyPatient, MyStudy, MySeries, MyInstance class properties are decorated with an [EntityElementAttribute] attribute. The <ElementKey> value must be identical to one of these properties
|
<ElementName>
|
· Must be a column name of the corresponding table
|
<DisplayName>
|
· Not used |
<KeyElement>
|
· True if a primary key · False otherwise |
For the tutorial, the name of the storage catalog is MyCatalog.xml.
The full path of the storage catalog is specified in two configuration files:
This is what needs to be added to each configuration file:
<section name="xmlStorageCatalogSettings" type="Leadtools.Medical.Storage.DataAccessLayer.XmlStorageCatalogSettings, Leadtools.Medical.Storage.DataAccessLayer" />
<xmlStorageCatalogSettings catalogPath="C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Bin\Dotnet4\Win32\MyCatalog.xml"/
This is the contents of MyCatalog.xml:
