Could not find help on forum for this one and I am guessing you have probably dealt with this before.

I have created a diagram full of shapenodes and have just added my first tablenode. My code loops the collection using a 'for each loop' (vb.net) I used your coding example from the developers help file.

Dim n As DiagramNode

For Each n In Diagram.Nodes

Dim b As ShapeNode = CType(n, ShapeNode)
If Not b Is Nothing Then
End If

Next

However I am obtaining the following error
13 Unable to cast object of type 'MindFusion.Diagramming.TableNode' to type 'MindFusion.Diagramming.ShapeNode'.

Is there an easy way to exclude the tablenode from my 'for each loop' or determine the node type before processing?

I did have success in using the following code to identify a Tablenode

If ChartNodeDN.GetType.ToString = "MindFusion.Diagramming.TableNode" Then
' skip this node
End If

You solution is far more elegant than my dinosaur.

You may wish to consider incorporating your solution in the Developers Guide rather than the Reflection technique.

Thanks again
