Hello Wicus,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I have tested adding of ports in the Diagram Samples\Quick Start\Drag Drop sample and it is working fine.

If your intention is to display the center port of the node, this is not possible in v5.1 of Essential Diagram. However you can view all the other ports that are being added to the node. Also please ensure that the Node.DrawPorts property is set with TRUE value in order to display the ports on the node.

If I have misunderstood your requirement, could you please explain me in detail, so that I can work in
depth and try to send a better solution?

Also please do let me know if you have any technical questions or I can be of any other assistance. We will be glad to assist you.

Best Regards,
Meera.

Hello Wicus,

Thanks for the update. As I have mentioned in the previous update, you can view all the other ports that are being added to a diagram node by setting the Node.DrawPorts to TRUE value. By default the DrawPorts has been set with TRUE value.

And you can add these ports at any point by setting desired value to OffSetX and OffSetY values.

I am afraid that I was not able to reproduce the issue. Please refer to the following steps that I tried to reproduce it with the Drag Drop sample.
1. Run the sample and drag and dropped the bitmap node into the diagram,

2. Added ports to the node using the Ports property in the property editor and set the OffSetX and OffSetY values for the ports.

Also I have created a sample to test this issue and it is available in the following link - http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Diagram.Windows/F63730/main.htm

Please have a look at the above sample and if still the issue exists, could you please try reproducing it in the above sample or send us the reproducing steps so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution?

Hello Wicus,

Thanks for the update. Are you using customized port(Connection Point) class in your application? If yes, please make sure that your custom port class is marked with the [Serializable()] attribute.

If you still finds any problem with this, could you please send me a small sample that is used to reproduce the issue? So that I can work in depth and try to send the solution soon.
