The Tile class represents a single Tile which can hold several types of elements such as images (ImageElement), text (TextElement), and panels (PanelElement). The Tiles are one of the most important component of the TileControl; they are responsible for the data. The Tiles in the TileControl in their simplest form appear like button controls. The images, text, and panels can be easily be formatted through the properties.
A Tile can be added to the C1TileControl at design time through the Group.Tiles Collection Editor or programmatically through the Tiles property. When a Tile is added to the designer it will be added to the specified group of the C1TileControl. A single group appears by default so you can easily start adding the tiles into the group. The tiles can be added at design time by clicking on the ellipsis button next to the Tiles property and clicking the Add button. To see how to add tiles to a specific group in the C1TileControl see Adding Tiles to a Specific Group.
