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.
Features
The ASP.NET Diagram control for WebForms and MVC ships with the following basic but important features:
- 35+ Predefined Shapes
- Custom Shapes:
- Bind to Any External Data
- Shape Sizing and Drag-and-Drop
- Collapsible Containers
- Auto Layout
- ReadOnly Mode
- Configurable Page Settings
- Export to SVG, PNG, and JPEG images
- Zoom and Auto Zoom
- Full Screen and Simple View Modes:
With these features, you can design diagram types such as:
- Flow charts
- Organizational structures
- Network diagrams
End-users can design, edit, display, and export diagrams.
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).
