Hi,

What do you mean by "change to normal position"? If you are using custom AnchorPattern objects and they are not loaded, make sure you create them with the constructor that takes an id argument. AnchorPatterns are saved only by id, and you should have them already defined when  loading the diagram file next time.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,
"Change to normal position" means Link Cascading style is not shown.

Code
Select All
 diagram.LinkStyle = LinkStyle.Cascading;
 diagram.LinkSegments = 3;

like this I am creating linkstyle, and
loading diagram in this way :
Code
Select All
 diagram.LoadFromString(xml);


Now tell me what I need to do?

Do you mean that loading a file changes the LinkStyle property to Polyline? LinkStyle is saved too when you call SaveToXml, so if you load an older file created before you started using Cascading links, LinkStyle will revert to Polyline. In such case, you will have to reset the property to Cascading after calling LoadFromXml.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Like this:

Code
Select All
diagram.LoadFromString(xml);
diagram.LinkStyle = LinkStyle.Cascading;


Diagram.LinkStyle is a default value for new links. If you need to change the style of existing links after loading a file, you will have to loop over them:

Code
Select All
diagram.LoadFromString(xml);
diagram.LinkStyle = LinkStyle.Cascading;
foreach (DiagramLink link in diagram.Links)
	link.Style = LinkStyle.Cascading;


I hope that helps,

I really dont know where I am wrong but still its not working for me

This is how I am doing in my application

Code
Select All
Diagram.RegisterItemClass(typeof(ChartNode), "classNodeId", 1);
string xml = e.Result; //e.result is coming from DB

 if (xml.Length > 0)
 ddtarget.LoadFromString(xml);

 ddtarget.LinkStyle = LinkStyle.Cascading;
 ddtarget.LinkSegments = 3;


Can you please provide one sample zip code for this where we save & load for same Link style?

Thanks

Could you explain more clearly what the problem is? Are you saying that the loaded links don't have the same link.Style as when they were saved?

This is what we got:


Does it look different from what you saved in the file? The links shapes correspond exactly to the point coordinates that are saved in the file. It seems you are using a custom node type registered as "classNodeId", which our developer replaced with ShapeNodes in order to load the file. Does your custom type override the CreateConnectionPoint method by any chance?

Hi
Yes diagram looks same.
My custom class not overriding CreateConnectionPoint method. Please tell me how to use it.
Also If I remove my custom class then with shapeNode what I need to do?


Thanks for Support 8)

Hi,

Check your code then, there should be some assignments to the links' Style or ControlPoints that change them to straight lines after calling LoadFromXml. If you think the problem is in LoadFromXml, try to reproduce it in a test project and email it to us for our developer to investigate.
