Vsdm file is corrupted upon save

Aspose.Diagram Product Family
1

I’ve just tried to save a particular file and am getting an unhandled exception (see below).

I can give more details and post the Visio file if this is helpful. I have a 2nd test file which does save correctly. I’m using a temporary license.
The file will not open in Visio afterwards and I get a message saying the file is corrupt. This would be a serious issue if it occurred in a production environment.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Imran


I’ve added the source code below and have attached the Visio file. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks,
Andrew

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExport.Click

Dim license As New Aspose.Diagram.License
license.SetLicense(“C:\temp\Aspose Diagram Test\Aspose.Diagram.lic”)

Dim map As New Aspose.Diagram.Diagram(txtVisioFile.Text)

map.Save(txtVisioFile.Text, Aspose.Diagram.SaveFileFormat.VSDM)

End Sub

Just to follow up on this, I’ve now found that removing the macro will stop the error from happening.

Hi Andrew,


Thank you for contacting support. We managed to replicate the said error on our side. It has been logged under ticket ID DIAGRAMNET-51159 in our bug tracking system. Your post has also been linked to this ticket. We shall keep you informed regarding any available updates. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Besides, we removed Macros from the source VSDM drawing, but it still shows an error. Please share the exact steps to modify the source VSDM drawing, which help to avoid this error. This will help us to rectify the root cause. Your response is awaited.

Hi Imran


I’ve added some code below to show how the error is being produced.

To produce the error, run the 2 lines below with the sample map

Dim map As New Aspose.Diagram.Diagram(txtVisioFile.Text)
map.Save(txtVisioFile.Text, Aspose.Diagram.SaveFileFormat.VSDM)

If the macro is removed before saving (as shown in code below), the file saves correctly.

Dim map As New Aspose.Diagram.Diagram(txtVisioFile.Text)
map.RemoveMacro()
map.Save(txtVisioFile.Text, Aspose.Diagram.SaveFileFormat.VSDM)

Hi Imran


Thanks for the update. Do you have any idea when this bug might be fixed? We’re currently evaluating your product; so far it has met our needs well and we’d like to move ahead with a purchase. However, this issue could cause us some significant problems if we have to remove macros for all vsdm files before making changes.

Regards,
Andrew
