Available Samples

1. GettingStarted

The foundational sample that introduces you to the basics of the Diagram control. This example demonstrates how to create a simple diagram, add shapes, and establish basic connectivity. Perfect for developers new to the Diagram control who want to understand core concepts and get up to speed quickly.

2. DataSource

Demonstrates data binding capabilities of the Diagram control. This sample shows how to bind diagram content to data sources, dynamically generate diagram elements from data, and keep your visual representation synchronized with underlying data structures. Ideal for scenarios where diagram content is derived from business data.

3. OverviewControl

Showcases an overview control that provides a bird's-eye view of your diagram. This sample demonstrates how to implement navigation and zooming features, allowing users to see the entire diagram structure and easily navigate to specific areas. Essential for working with large or complex diagrams.

4. Virtualization

Illustrates virtualization techniques for optimal performance with large diagrams. This sample demonstrates how the Diagram control handles virtualization to efficiently render and manage diagrams with hundreds or thousands of elements, ensuring smooth performance and responsiveness.
