I just want to ask if it is possible to draw diagrams in ASP.NET ? I have some data models and populated instances of these data models. I canexport XML from the data modelling tool. I want to import this into a web application and use the XML to draw diagrams within a web browser e.g. boxes or circles with connectors between them ... I then want to be able to drag the shapes and connectors around the screen (i.e. change the layout) and possiby add more shapes or connectors and have the XML updated accordingly ...

 Is there anything in ASP.NET to help me do this ? I haven't the faintest idea where to start, hence the question ...

 Thanks

 As

Don't know if this will help, but www.mxgraph.com is a basic example of what i want to be able to do ...

Hi,

It been a while since you posted this - so I was wondering if you managed to find anything.

I am at the same piont as you were so anyones information would be really great!

 Cheers

As long time ago as in Nov., 2005, I have been using for this  WFPad application with open code/project for this through the link to Mark Schmidt''s blog.  It was available from MS WWF (Windows Workflow Foundation), www.windowsworkflow.net. The activity was boiling

Times have changed. It seems stale now, SDK moved to ASP.NET3.0, the site moved to http://wf.netfx3.com/,  WFPad seems to be now in Extensible Object Markup Language Resource Kit http://searchvb.techtarget.com/general/0,295582,sid8_gci1222548,00.html , http://blogs.msdn.com/markhsch/archive/2005/10/06/478042.aspx and WFPad is available from http://blogs.msdn.com/markhsch/archive/2005/10/06/478042.aspx

God luck! I' am curious why all those activities staled, it seems Ajax sucks all MS forces now, or I am wrong?

More exactly the link for WFPad is
http://blogs.msdn.com/markhsch/archive/2007/01/23/wfpad-for-windows-workflow-foundation-rtm.aspx

Well, WFPad is not in ASP.NET. It is Workflow Graphical Designer in Windows. But the code is available and easy to adapt to produce needed XML consumed by server (I used it to produce XML for consuming by server application in Java)

Then smart clients, MS Offline Application Block, MS Updater Application Block exist.

The whole idea of WinFX, renamed to Vista SDK and then to .NET 3.0 was to use XAML/XOML (XML) to blur distinction between windows and web application programming. Where is that idea now, I wonder?
