hello,

is there a way to save the all workflow into image?
or PDF or other format?

hilla

Thanx.

that mean i have to create the diagram at ASP?
or i can create the diagram in silverlight and past it to ASP only for export to image?

Hi Stoyan,

I am using the approach you gave, when loading in Netdiagram I get the following error:

Message"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

InnerException{"The value of argument 'value' (7) is invalid for Enum type 'GraphicsUnit'.\r\nParameter name: value"}System.Exception {System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException}

Can you please help me with this.

Amit

Hi Stoyan,

This works, thanks.

Now another problem. Shapenodes with Images are not getting correctly built.

I am using node.ImageWebLocation in the silverlight to set the location.

When the same XML is loaded in the netDiagramming object, the links and labels are properly created, but they don't have the images. What can be the reason.

Thanks,
Amit

Hi Stoyan,

On the diagramlite side I do not use Tag. So what exactly are you suggesting by saying the following, I am not very clear:

"If you don't use Tag, you could just assign to it the image name and it will be automatically loaded as DiagramItem.Tag value so you can avoid using the XML API. "

Please clarify.

Regards,
Amit

Thanks Stoyan,

I was trying exactly that. I have one problem though, my images are in uri format. The  fromfile only takes full path. Is there any alternative to load from a uri:

Image.FromFile((string)node.Tag);

Best Regards,
Amit

Hi Stoyan,

I am able to export the images, but my exported image has overlapped image and labels, which is not in the SL client side. Isent an email with the screen shots. How to fix it.

Thanks,
Amit

Hi Stoyan,

Your recommendation solved my problem to some extent but there are 2 problems:
1. The overlap is still there inspite of having same custome shape
2. The node icons are very stretched out. I want them to be of same size as they appear in Silverlight Application.

Here is my code, please help urgently. I will also send the screen shots showing the issue in the email to you.:

Silverlight side code for node creation:
       private Shape GetRectTextShape()
       {
           var rrs = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.Shape(
           new ElementTemplate[]
       {
               new RoundRectangleTemplate(0, 0, 140, 110, 0)
       },
           null,
           new Rect(0, 65, 200, 80),
           FillRule.Nonzero, "RectText");
           return rrs;
       }

      public static ShapeNode CreateNode(Diagram graph, NodeProps nodeProps)
       {
           BitmapImage nodeImage = null;
           string iconURL = string.Empty;

           ShapeNode child = new ShapeNode(graph);
           child.Shape = GetRectTextShape();   

           StringFormat sfmt = new StringFormat();
           sfmt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near;
           sfmt.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Near;
           child.TextFormat = sfmt;

           iconURL = "images/CI/" + nodeProps.Icon;
           child.Tag = nodeProps.Type.ToString();

           child.Text =  nodeProps.Label;
           child.ImageWebLocation =  iconURL;
           child.EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.Move;
           child.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.TopCenter;
           child.FontSize = 9;
           child.FontFamily = new FontFamily("MS Sans Serif,Tahoma");
           child.Transparent = true;
           child.TabNavigation = KeyboardNavigationMode.Cycle;
           return child;
       }

SERVER SIDE CODE for loading and export:
    private Shape GetRectTextShape()
    {
       var rrs = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Shape(
       new ElementTemplate[]
       {
    
           new RoundRectangleTemplate(0, 0, 140, 110, 0)
       },
        
       null,
        new ElementTemplate[]
       {
               new RoundRectangleTemplate(0, 65, 200, 80, 0)
       },
       System.Drawing.Drawing2D.FillMode.Winding
       , "RectText");
       return rrs;
    }

CreateImagefromXMLUsingNetDiagram(...)
{
      Diagram diagram = new Diagram();
        diagram.LoadFromString(xmlString);

Shape custShape = GetRectTextShape();
Font font = new Font("MS Sans Serif,Tahoma", 7);

ShapeNode shapeNode = null;
string imageLocation;

IEnumerator iterator = diagram.Nodes.GetEnumerator();

while (iterator.MoveNext())
               {
                   shapeNode = iterator.Current as ShapeNode;
                   shapeNode.Shape = custShape;
                  
                   StringFormat sfmt = new StringFormat();
                   sfmt.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near;
                   sfmt.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Near;
                   shapeNode.TextFormat = sfmt;
                   shapeNode.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.TopCenter;

                   imageLocation = "ClientBin/" + shapeNode.Tag as string;
                   imageLocation = Server.MapPath(imageLocation);
                   shapeNode.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(imageLocation);

                   shapeNode.Font = font;
                   shapeNode.Transparent = true;

                  
                }

diagram.ResizeToFitItems(0, true);
               System.Drawing.Image image = diagram.CreateImage();
               image.Save(@"D:\Temp\export.jpeg");

}
