Visio Export To Xaml: Now with an Installer

I added an installer program for VisioExportToXaml so that you can just try the export without being forced to compiling the source. I also made some minor UI changes.

 

How to Install

  • Remove any previous versions of VisioExportToXaml
  • Make sure you've installed Visio 2007.
  • Download the ZIP for the installer from the VisioExportToXAML codeplex project and extract to a folder
  • Then run the Setup.EXE.
  • If needed .NET Framework 3.5 and VSTO 3.0,  will be downloaded and installed.
  • Once the install is finished verify that it is enabled in Visio...
  • In Visio, navigate to Tools / Trust Center

  • Click Add-Ins
  • Verify that Manage is set to "COM Add-ins"
  • Click Go

  • Check VisioExportToXAML if it is not already checked (In the screenshot below you'll see that the reason that there was a failure loading the add in ... something I've seen with Windows XP but not with Vista)

# re: Visio Export To Xaml: Now with an Installer

I've tried your add-in with a french version of Visio 2007. When executing, an exception is raised here:

vis_file_menu = vis_cmd_bars["Menu bar"].Controls["&File"] as Office.CommandBarPopup;

So I suppose I have to replace the string with their french version, but where in your opinion can I find the equivalent of "Menu bar" (for "File" I know...) ?

Best regards

I have the answer: there is apparently no translation for "Menu Bar". It is also "Menu Bar" in french.

Thanks for sharing this.

Do you plan to work on a version ommitting   the SVG intermediate step? A direct export from Visio could preserve many information existing in Visio such as the shape text

How do you manually remove the XAML plugins? Mine has created a problem where it's overpopulated my File menu with Export to XAML, but the removal is not showing up in Add/Remove Programs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
