	add a true or false argument depending on whether you consider this a save operation (the Dirty flag specifies whether diagram has been modified since last save).

	Try calling xmlString.Subsrtring(41), if I've counted the characters correctly.

	I tried following, but not working string canvasContent = diagram.SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.Xml.Substring(41), false); string canvasContent = diagram.SaveToString(SaveToStringFormat.xmlString.Subsrtring(41), false);

	You want to call this on the string returned by SaveToString, so canvasContent = canvasContent.Substring(41);
