Nodes

Visualize any graphical object using nodes, which can be arranged and manipulated at the same time on a diagram page. They allow the following:

  • Use many predefined standard shapes
  • Create and add custom shapes easily.
  • Fully customize the appearance of a node.
  • Design a node UI template and reuse it across multiple nodes.

Connectors

A connector represents a relationship between two nodes. Some of the key features like connector types, bridging, and more are listed below.

Different types of connectors available in ASP.NET MVC Diagram Control

Types

The ASP.NET MVC Diagram Control provides straight, orthogonal, polyline, and curved connector types. You can choose any of these based on the type of diagram or relationship between the connected nodes.

In addition, we might offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

You can find our ASP.NET MVC Diagram demo, which demonstrates how to render and configure Diagram.

No, our 1,800+ components and frameworks for web, mobile, and desktop, including our ASP.NET MVC Diagram, are not sold individually. They are only available as part of a team license. However, we have competitively priced the product, so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their Diagram control alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 1,800+ components and frameworks for a subscription fee that starts at $395 per month for a team of 5 developers. Additionally, we might be able to offer discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our product specialists today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

No, this is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is also available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers, and 10 or fewer total employees.

A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
