what different between flowchart.net v.s. NetDiagram?

We use flowchart.net to implement ASP.net solution , but we suffer from "Automation" problem on IE with dot.net 2.0 , could we transfer to netDiagram easily?

NetDiagram uses a Java applet to implement interaction on the client side. This provides for wider browser and OS support. It also handles the transfer of data between the applet and the server automatically, as opposed to the webchart / flowchart.net approach of requiring you to use SaveToString, LoadFromString and html hidden fields.

The server-side API of the two controls is almost the same, but the client side API is different. So it depends on how much client-side code you have how easy it will be to move to NetDiagram.

We will need at least a month to port it after we release Flowchart.NET 5.

The diagram files saved/loaded by NetDiagram server side dll are compatible with Flowchart.NET. You might have problems if a diagram saved by Flowchart.NET contains Tag values from your custom type, that is not available in the Netdiagram-based application when loading the diagram there. If you need to use a custom type as a Tag in both a Windows Forms and a Web application, you will need to define it in a shared dll referenced by both applications.

Not yet. We are going to release one more version using the old API.

You'd better wait for NetDiagram version 2, which should be available in March. Then both the Windows and Web forms versions of the control will use the common API from mindfusion.diagramming.dll, so you will be able to reuse much of your code.

Hi:

  I try to migrate the past code.

In the past
We use webchart / flowchart.net approach of requiring you to use SaveToString, LoadFromString and html hidden fields.

I don't know how to show the flowchart  to client-side after work on server side when I use NetDiagram.

Can you give me an example flowchart work on sever-side and display on client-side.

My client side fail to display ...

If you are using ImageMap mode, add ImageGen.aspx to your project. NetDiagram generates IMG elements that rely on that file to return the image as an image/jpeg MIME type data.

If you are using the JavaApplet mode, add the JDiagram.jar to your project. In that case your clients will need version 1.5 or higher of the Java runtime in order to load the client-side applet.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi:

I used JavaApplet mode, and add the JDiagram.jar to my project.

First time- I try some simple work. Draw some box
in client and two sever controls button . one to count boxes the other to creat box. It works.

Then I want to test my old Flowchart(more complicated compute) migrate to NetDiagram.

In VS2005 debug mode, I can see the flowchart object's properties I set is correct in behind. But it can't display in client (IE).

I don't know what step I forgot.

I just think it will like the simple test I try

But it is not. ???

In the flowchart.net:
after deal with flowchart object you need to saveToString and Save in hidden text box and......
So it can dispaly in web....

NetDiagram:
after deal with flowchart object and..??
(I want to know ??)

(I read the programmer's Guide/Sever side reference/Serialization)
It seems the same...I still can't understand the different.

need your help~ ???

Hi,

How are you loading your old flowcharts? If you load a file from the Page_Load event handler, it should be automatically transferred to the client side.

This won't work if there are ControlHost nodes in your old flowcharts, because the client side applet cannot create Java objects corresponding to the Windows Forms controls hosted in the ControlHosts.
