Dynamic Link Anchor Points

I want anchor points for links to always be calculated automatically.

With the 'Dynamic' property enabled, the behavior when creating new links is perfect.  Moving nodes around also updates the anchor points of links dynamically.  My problem is when moving existing links (e.g. drag the end point of a link to a different destination node) - the link anchors to where you dropped it.  Is there a way to force the link to recalculate it's start and end control points using the same algorithm it uses when creating new links between nodes?

You can force it from LinkModified event handler like this -

Code
Select All
private void diagram_LinkModified(object sender, LinkEventArgs e)
{
	var link = e.Link;
	if (e.AdjustmentHandle == 0 ||
		e.AdjustmentHandle == link.ControlPoints.Count - 1)
	{
		link.StartPoint = link.Origin.GetCenter();
		link.EndPoint = link.Destination.GetCenter();
		link.UpdateIntersections();
	}
}


Another option is to enable link.AutoSnapToNode to still allow users some control over position of end points while aligning them to node borders.

Regards,
