Conversion of EDP files to C# code

[Hitesh Ashar]

If I create a custom symbol with the symbol designer, is there any way by which I can convert that genereated EDP file in to C# file so that I can continue customizing the symbol through code?

Hi Hitesh,

It is not possible to generate a .NET managed class equivalent for a symbol that was defined using the Essential Diagram SymbolDesigner. However, what you could do is subclass the symbol in the edp file using a symbol class defined locally in your application, and add the required customization to this custom class. Subclassing a symbol and extending it is demonstrated in the ''Quick Start\CustomSymbol'' sample that ships with Essential Diagram.
