ASP.NET Diagram for WebForms and MVC (CTP) (v19.2)

ASP.NET Team Blog
11 December 2019

Our most recent v19.2 release includes a new ASP.NET Diagram control, both for ASP.NET WebForms and for ASP.NET MVC as well.

This new Diagram control gives you the opportunity to incorporate information-rich diagrams, flow charts, and organization charts into your apps simply and easily. It provides a visual interface with powerful formatting and data binding functionality that allows end-users to design new diagrams and modify existing ones.

Design Improvements

We have created a brand new design concept that makes this new component's toolbars and other UI elements look more appropriate and convenient for diagram editing. You can test drive the new Diagram control by using the demo links in the 'Test it now' section below.

Limitations and future plans

Here are the features we're working on before the official release of the ASP.NET Diagram control:

  • An API to handle certain user actions (for example, node click and selection) and the control's data modifications
  • Image Shapes
  • AutoConnect shapes
  • Touch Support

We plan to launch the ASP.NET Diagram controls for both the WebForms and MVC environments in the first major release of next year (v20.1).
