Creating a swimlane palette symbol from code behind (C#)

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

A few weeks ago you provided me with a sample solution that demonstrated how swimlanes can work - a purely HTML page.
I would like to define the swimlane shapes in code behind (C#), using the following code:

 Node horizLane = new Node();
 horizLane.Name = "horizSwim";
 horizLane.FillColor = "#f5f5f5";
 horizLane.Height = 70;
 horizLane.Width = 130;
 horizLane.OffsetX = 65;
 horizLane.OffsetY = 60;
 horizLane.IsLane = true;
 horizLane.Orentation = "horizontal";
 //  header: =  { text: "HEADER", width: 60, fillColor: "#C7D4DF" }

There does not appear to be properties called IsLane or Orientation (or anything similar showing in the intellisense dropdown).
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Jim

Hi Jim

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

We are glad to inform you that we have created a simple sample of swim lane in ASP.NET and attached below. Please note that the property “IsLane” and “Orientation”  defined in the class “Lane”. Please see the code snippet below.

        Lane lane = new Lane();

            lane.Name = name;

            lane.Height =100;

            lane.Width = 100;

            lane.OffsetX = 100;

            lane.OffsetY = 100;

            lane.IsLane = true;

            lane.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;

please let me know if any concerns.

Regards,

Shyam G

Hi Shyam,

Well, I'm making progress in small steps.
I have looked at the swimlane sample in the 12.3.0.36 release and just copied the code behind that creates the palette entries for the 2 swimlane shapes.
That works fine and I see them in my palette.
I am not creating any lanes or shapes in my code behind - I want the user to do that.

The problem I am having is that when I drag a swimlane shape from the palette onto my canvas it immediately disappears.
This occurs in the latest releases of FireFox and Chrome.
IE actually throws the following exception (which perhaps the other 2 browsers are ignoring):

     Unhandled exception at line 942, column 37 in http://vs2013-jimv2/NavviaNewDev/Syncfusion/Scripts/DiagramBuilder/DiagramBuilder.js

     0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'length' of undefined or null reference

What am I doing wrong? 
Is there any documentation on swim lanes?  I can't find any in the online documentation.  Even something in draft would be welcomed.

Thanks for your continuing guidance.

Hi,

The new javascript file provided has fixed the error when dropping a swimlane on the canvas.
Thank you.

I look forward to the documentation.
