Creating Diagrams

Aspose.Diagram Product Family
#1

In order to create new diagrams do I need to provide a VSS file containing the shapes. This would mean then that I need MS Visio also?

Can I update properties on Visio shapes such as Columns on an Database View shape?

If I deployed an application that uses Aspose.Diagram would the deployed machine need to have a Visio license if I was to deploy a VSS file too?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our Aspose.Diagram for .NET product.

Once you create, update or manipulate a diagram, you can save it to VDX, VTX, VSX, Image, XPS, SWT, PDF or HTML formats. For details, please see product features on this page.

Thanks for your response. I did find out some of my original questions but then changed them and reposted new ones about the time you reponded, sorry.

I have tried the examples for WinForms using VS2010. It didn't compile so I gave up trawling through code. Here are the error messages:

Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'Aspose.Diagram.Master'
Error 2 Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'Aspose.Diagram.StyleSheet'

Since I now know a little more than I did I will look through the code and find where the Visio object properties are updated. If you read my updated questions, it pertains to this particular topic.

Thanks

Phil
