image not saved or loaded with saveToFile an loadFromfile

When I do  diagram.saveToFile(path) and then Diagram.loadFromFile(path) , all node.imagesUrls  are lost.
I check on the server and find that when saving the imageUrl exists, but after loading the imageUrl is lost.

        foreach (ShapeNode n in diagram.Nodes)
        {
            if (n.ImageUrl != null)
            {
                a = n.ImageUrl.ToString();
            }
        }

Also images (imageURL) get lost when executing:
        string a = diagram.SaveToString();
        diagram.LoadFromString(a);

Currently this is not serialized in binary format. You could save diagrams in XML format for the time being, using the SaveToXml or SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml) methods.

I hope that helps,

I use
string a = diagram.SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml,false);
it results in almost the same as SaveToXml: the string has one line more at the beginning:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

When I use diagram.LoadFromString(a) the images are lost.
(I first have to remove the first line, otherwise error)
Also LoadFromXml loses the images.

The imagesUrls are present in the xml
      <ImageUrl>images/rijbewijs2.bmp</ImageUrl>

any workaround ?

The problem seems to be with nodes for which the imageUrl is set by script, not for those set by code (asp.net c#)

Calling this from the FractalLayout sample project, and then posting back and reloading worked in our test.

Code
Select All
var node = diagram.getFactory().createShapeNode(20, 20, 50, 50);
node.setImageLocation("./Images/pic4.png");


Are you sure the image location property isn't cleared at some later point in your code?

What kind of error are you getting if you keep the xml declaration line?

I have to correct some things in this posting:
This works correct, inluding ImageLocation
        string a = diagram.SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml, false);
        diagram.LoadFromString(a);

This also works correct inluding ImageLocation:
diagram.SaveToXml(filename)
diagram.LoadFromXml(filename)

My confusion was that I copied the images from one node to another by:  node2.setImage(node1.getImage);
The image showed well in the diagram, but got lost when saving and loading.
I should have used
node2.setImageLocation(node1.getImageLocation);

The only issue left is: If I write a SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml)  to file  and load it with loadFromXML, I get the Unicode-Error.

I don't use it anymore.

I suppose you are not saving the Xml string into a Unicode file then. If you call SaveToString(Xml) and save the string into non-unicode text file, you can still load the diagram using a symmetrical method - first read the file into a .NET String (which is always Unicode) using StreamReader.ReadToEnd method, and then call diagram.LoadFromString(theString). Alternatively just save into a Unicode16 file via the StreamWriter(path, encoding) constructor.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
