Automating Visio 2007 with VisioAutoExt- now on CodePlex

[UPDATE 2008-01-07]

Edited the text to reflect the new name of the project: "VisioAutoExt"

 

As I've been exploring automating Visio 2007 through C#, I've been placing all that code in a library called VisioAutoExt. It's not well-commented and is built onVisual Studio 2008, but I thought now would be a good time to let others use it.

Link to project site on codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/visioautoext 

Some examples of what it can create in Visio: (No bitmaps were used). All these are output from the test cases included in the VisioAutoExt solution.

For those who are wondering: I don't work on the Visio team. I work on Security in the Forefront team. I just enjoy thinking about graphics and visualization as a hobby.

Hi Saveen,

The code is great and I'd like to use this for a project.  I've been digging in the code, but I wonder if you could put together a few simple how-tos.  

I'm having a hard time in general "getting" the Visio programming model and everything I've read so far makes it worse rather than better.  Specifically, I'm trying to build a flowchart from a database in C#.

Thanks,

Will
