Custom XML Serialization, custom flow diagram symbols with parameters

Hi,

We are exploring WPF FLOW DIAGRAM control. We have following questions :
  1. Do we have support for XML serialization such that the XML being Serialized gets persisted in our own format ? The Exported XML should be Light in that it should have only the bare minimum workflow essence in XML.
  2. Do we have support to introduce Custom flowchart symbols, along with the ability to provide custom parameters per Flowchart Symbol that we introduce?

If FLOW DIAGRAM has support for above requirements, could you please provide sample applications? That will be great help.

If FLOW DIAGRAM and related products fits our requirement, we are planning to buy a license.

Thanks.

Deepak

We have support to serialize the Diagram in both XML and XAML format. We have provided sample to represent this. Please refer to the sample from the following link.

Currently,  we don’t have support to de-serialize the shape of the Node and we are working on this and it will available in our upcoming volume 2 2017 release.

We have support to customize the shape of the Nodes using either the content of the node to set the Path object or even you can use the ShapeStyle property to set the custom path.

Hi Emran, 

The “CloneDiagramElements” method is not available in our current version. However, we have implemented this and it will be available in our upcoming Volume 2 2017 release.

Update: Created new thread for below question.Thank you very much for your reply.Do you have a control that supports nested bindings? For e.g. I have a list of objects (Name-Value) pair and value can be another list of objects, date, image, etc. So this control is intelligent enough to understand type of the value and display accordingly.Please let us know your comments.Thanks.Deepak

Hi Deepak, 
 
We suspect that your requirement is to “Auomatically bind list of objects based on the key and values in the Dictionary”. Currently, we don’t have support to achieve your requirement and it can be achieved only in application level.  
 
Please let us know if you need further assistance on this. 
Regards, 
Saranya C.
