I'm using Diagramming ver 5.3 with VB.Net in Visual Studio 2008, and want to change the content of some existing SVGNodes when the user makes a change to the application. Here is how I am changing the content to the desired node:

svgNode.Content.Parse(sFileName)
'force node to refresh
svgNode.Shape = svgNode.Shape

The SVG images are similar except for 1 is more opaque than the other - its alpha value is higher. When an SVGNode is first drawn it uses the more transparent image and is very discernible from the more opaque version. But if I change the content SVG image from the more opaque to the more transparent there is no noticable difference, as though the more transparent version is painted over the top of the existing more opaque image which "shines through."

I've tried refreshing the Diagram and DiagramView using the following calls:

mfMainDiagram.Invalidate(svgNode.GetRepaintRect(False))

mfMainDiagramView.Refresh()

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

That works great, thanks.

I went back and looked at the developer's guide and couldn't find a reference to Content.Parse adding rather than replacing SVG content. It might be good to add this information to the guide in a future version.

Thanks again for the prompt response.
