	Hello, I am trying to use a custom shape library that I created using the Test Shape Designer. I have the following code in my Page_Load event: shapeListBox.ShapeLibraryLocation = @"http://localhost/SomeWebsite/ShapeLibrary/ShapeLibrary.shl"; When I view the .shl in the shape designer the custom shapes are there. However when I view it in the ShapeListBox only the default shapes are available. What other additional steps do I need to take? Thanks, - G

	A few more details: My end goal is to have custom shapes that I define show up in a ShapeListBox. The user will then be able to drag the custom shapes onto a DiagramView and use them. Also, I would like to define new members on the custom shape classes that I can code on the C# server-side code like so: public class MyShape : Shape { public MyShape() : base(new ElementTemplate[] { new RoundRectangleTemplate(0, 0, 76, 77, 6) }, new ElementTemplate[] { }, null, FillMode.Winding, "MyShape") { // Do some constructor stuff } public void DoStuff() { } }

	This property hasn't been implemented in ImageMap mode yet. Call ShapeLibrary.LoadFrom from the Page_Load handler, and the shapes will appear in the listbox. You might also assign their IDs to the ShapeFilter property if you want only the shape from the library to be shown in the list. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	This version implements ShapeLibraryLocation in ImageMap mode: https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/netdiag_301pre.zip However it should be set to a local file path on the server. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Thank you Stoyan, the new dlls gave me the intended ShapeListBox behavior. I would like to link a custom class that inherits from Shape to the new shapes I am defining in the shape library file. What would be the best way to go about doing this? I want to do this so that I can implement custom business attributes that the user can modify on my shape. Thank you, - G

	At this time you can do that only by handling NodeCreated, deleting e.Node and creating an instance of your class at the same location. We'll add some support for custom types in the ShapeListbox for the 3.0.2 release. Stoyan
