Hello all,

I am using the trial version of ASP.NET MVC Diagramming (our team will definitely be buying at least one license if we can get this issue resolved), and have ran into an issue with the images not showing when I try to export to .bmp or .png. It instead shows the ShapeNode (which should be transparent) on the exported file with no image in the Shape. Here is the code I am using:

ShapeNode imageNode = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(new RectangleF(0, 0, 60, 20));
                imageNode.Shape = myShape;
                String path1 = Server.MapPath("./Resources/IS-logo-global.png");
                Image img1 = Image.FromFile(path1);
                imageNode.Image = img1;
                imageNode.ImageUrl = "/WorkflowDemo/Resources/IS-logo-global.png";
                imageNode.Brush = new MindFusion.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.Transparent);
                imageNode.Pen = new MindFusion.Drawing.Pen(Color.Transparent); 

I have read several posts with issues about not being able to show an image correctly and have tried all of the recommended solutions to no avail. Can anyone help me out with this issue?

Thanks!

Great, thanks for the response! I was hoping that there was something built in currently but this works perfectly. Out of curiosity, are you guys still adding features to ASP.NET MVC Diagramming?

By the way, just in case anyone else has this issue and sees this post, here was the final solution for me:

foreach (ShapeNode node in diagram.Nodes)
            {
                if(node.ImageUrl != ""){
                    String imgPath = Server.MapPath(node.ImageUrl);
                    node.Image = Image.FromFile(imgPath);
                }

            }
            pdf.Export(diagram, path); 

The if-statement is required for any nodes that do not have a value set for the ImageUrl (which seems to default to an empty String).
