Hi Aymen,

The reported issue occurs only if the viewData(ViewData["diagramModel"]) value is null in the view page(.cshtml page) as highlighted in the below code example. So please check in the below sample and get back to us if you are still facing issues at your end.

Code example:

@Html.EJ().Diagram("DiagramContent", ViewData["diagramModel"] as DiagramProperties)

Hi Shyam G,
I checked the ViewData value and it's not Null.

        @{ var s = ViewData["diagramModel"];}
        @Html.EJ().Diagram("Diagram1", s as DiagramProperties)
Please check the below Attachment:

Hi Aymen,

In your sample, we got the compilation error due to misspelling of the ViewData in the controller page(DiagramController.cs). you have set as ViewDataData instead of using ViewData. We have modified it correctly in your sample and provided below. Still if an issue occurs at your end, please provide us more details such as video and screenshot of controller, cshtml page. So that we can analyze further and provide a better solution. Please refer to the sample and video below.
