Error in Flowchart.NET 5  Help file

Hello, I just found an inconsistency in the Flowchart.NET 5 Help file for the "SaveToString" method:

I.a.w. the help file, the method can be used as follows:
string SaveToString ();
string SaveToString (bool clearDirty);

Unfortunately, in the Flowchart.NET 5 API the real method (in VB.NET) is as follows:
SaveToString () as string;
SaveToString (format as Mindfusion.Diagramming.Savetostringformat, clearDirty as boolean) as string;

I'd like to know what the Savetostringformat is, perhaps it is useful but I canīt find it in the Help file...

Hello,

You can use the following SaveToStringFormat values:

Base16
Base64
Xml
CompressedXml

Base16 and Base64 specify binary serialization. They correspond to what you could set via the FlowChart.SerializationOptions property in version 4. Base16 encodes each byte using two ASCII characters in the range [0-9,A-F], which was the only supported format in versions older than 4. Base64 encodes each 3 bytes using 4 ASCII characters. That was the default in versions 4.*

Xml and CompressedXml correspond to what you'd get using the XmlWriter.WriteToString(bool compressed) method.

If you want to get a human-readable string, you might use diagram.SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml). The rest of them encode the diagram information in a more compact format that you might use to store the diagram in a database for example.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
