Key Differences Between Mindfusion Flow Diag in WinForms and Windows Presentation Foundation?

Hi Stoyan,

After testing out what MindFusion FlowDiagramming in WPF could do and researching if it was going to support us in the idea we have in mind, the company we work for decided that they are most likely gonna buy a MindFusion license.

Since most of our tool works with WinForms, our technical manager asked us what the cons, pro's and differences there are between MindFusion FlowDiagramming in WPF and WinForms.

Could you help us in this matter?

Greets and Thanks in Advance,  Cheesy

Sander

Hi,

There aren't any substantial differences in the API, apart from using platform-specific types, e.g. PointF vs. Point, RectangleF vs. Rect, etc.

The WPF control lets you use WPF specific features such as styles and Xaml templates. The WinForms version provides something similar to them though, via custom Style classes for styling, and the CompositeNode class for creating nodes using Xaml-like syntax.

So it's up to you to decide which platform you prefer Smiley

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
