NetDiagram 2 beta version
Apr 28th, 2008 at 9:50am
Print Post  
This is a pre-release build of NetDiagram version 2, including all C# samples ported to the new API:
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/NetDiagram2.zip

The major changes and new features are:

* model / view architecture *

The functionality of the FlowChart class from NetDiagram 1 has been split into model and view parts. The model is implemented by the Diagram class, and the view by DiagramView.

* API compatible with Flowchart.NET 5 *

NetDiagram and Flowchart.NET now share all assemblies that are not specific to the Windows or Web Forms technologies. All automatic layout, import and export classes from Flowchart.NET can now be used in NetDiagram. This includes support for SVG, DXF and Visio formats. Hopefully this will also let us release updates for both components more frequently.

* API changes *

The FlowChart.NET 5 compatible programming interface is very different from the one provided by NetDiagram 1. We haven't yet documented all changes, but the "Moving to Flowchart.NET 5" topic in the Flowchart.NET developers' guide documents most of them:

http://www.mindfusion.eu/onlinehelp/flowchartnet/index.htm

The API reference pages for the following namespaces in the docs above now apply to NetDiagram as well:

MindFusion.Diagramming;
MindFusion.Diagramming.Layout;
MindFusion.Diagramming.Import;
MindFusion.Diagramming.Export;

We'll post more examples and a complete NetDiagram 2 reference in the next couple of days.

We have uploaded a new beta build of NetDiagram 2:
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/NetDiagram2.zip

Here is what is new since the last preview version:

* Visual Basic.NET samples
* help file
* ContainerNodes implemented in JavaApplet mode
* all Diagram events from the Windows Forms version have been ported to NetDiagram JavaApplet mode
* JavaApplet client-side events now follow the .NET event convention, and all JavaScript handler functions should have the following prototype

function handler(/*Diagram*/ sender, /*EventArgs*/ e)
{
}

For example:
function onNodeCreated(sender, args)
{
     var node = args.getNode();
     node.setText("test");
}

The sender argument is always set to the Diagram object, and you no longer have to access it through the <%= fc.AppletElement %> syntax.

We are ready to release it, but hoped to get some feedback on the beta version before that. Have you tried it?

No, because we want change completely from flowchart.net to netdiagram. This is for us only possible if we can migrate our application to netdiagram with an official release ... For pretests with beta version was no time ... sorry

Well, we haven't found any bugs in our tests, so we'll start our release process now. The official version should be available in a couple of days if nobody reports a problem by then.
