Scripting

Essential Diagram is integrated with the Essential Scripting Library to support diagram creation with scriptable interactivity. The scripting feature lets end-users define behaviors for diagram entities at run-time using one of the supported scripting languages. The scripting languages currently supported are C#, Visual Basic.NET and JScript.NET.

Essential Diagram provides scripting support that let the users define actions using a scripting language such as JavaScript. It translates the user actions such as node selection and drag-and-drop into server side-events with the help of these scripts and thus renders the diagram more interactive.

For instance, consider a scenario where you want to do drag-and-drop of diagram nodes. This can be easily achieved by writing client-side scripts for these actions.
