FlowChart.net export to visio

Print Post  
Hi, I'm evaluating FlowChart.net and wanted to try out the export to visio feature. I recently downloaded the 4.1 trial
I added the VisioExport.dll to my references,
however, the below code gives me an error saying that the export method only supports accepting FlowChartX as a reference and not a FlowChart.
MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter ve= new MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter();
ve.Export(fc,"c:\\Temp\\dependency.vdx");

Do I have the wrong dll?

Thank you,

Do you use the FlowChart class from webchart.dll ?

VisioExporter accepts only a reference to the Windows Form control - "MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart". It will not work with the FlowChart class defined in the webchart.dll. You can still try that by loading the webchart contents into a MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart object, e.g.

MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart winfc = new MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart();
winfc.LoadFromString(webfc.SaveToString());
ve.Export(winfc,"c:\\Temp\\dependency.vdx");

Our developers are now working on a real Web Forms flowchart control, all the exporters will have web forms versions too when we release it.

Dear Stoyo

I did as you said, but the program didn't export vdx file and there is no excerption. Did i forgot something?

MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter ve = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter();
MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart winfc = new MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart();
winfc.LoadFromString(ViewState["originFC"].ToString());
ve.Export(winfc,"C:");

Hi,

Set the ve.TemplatePath property so that it specifies the full path to the "VisioExport.vxt" file. The second argument to the Export method must be the full path to the exported Visio file; just "C:" won't work.

"Class already exists" exceptions were thrown when using Windows Forms controls in ASP.NET 1.0. That's supposedly fixed in ASP.NET 1.1. We are just releasing version 5, it should be available in a few days.

I am using asp.net 1.1, the error will show up from time to time. I have tested your version 5, it works fine. I think I am going to use the version 5 in my project, when can I purchase it? I need it quite urgently.

Ok, maybe that has been fixed in ASP.NET 2 and not ASP.NET 1.1.

We are just completing the help file updates and will hopefully release version 5 next week.
