Hi Alex ,

Kindly accept our sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

The LoadSOAP and SaveSOAP methods use the SOAP XML format to serialize diagrams to files and I / O streams. Please refer to the following code snippet

[C#]
//To save the diagram in Xml format.

this.diagram1.SaveSoap( string FileName);

//To load the diagram in Xml format.

this.diagram1.LoadSoap( string FileName);

I have attached the sample for your reference. In this sample when you click on File->save menuitem you can save the diagram in xml file. When you click on File->open menuitem you can load the diagram from the xml file.

Hi Alex ,

The SaveSoap is used to serialize the diagram in xml format. Currently the diagram does not support to write the node's information in the xml file. It only allows the user to load the datas from the xml file and the data base. In ORGLAYOUT browser sample load the data from the xml file. Please refer the ORGLAYOUT browser sample and let me know if this helps.

Best regards,

I pretty much need the exact same routine. I also need to cycle through the nodes and easily identify the children in a hierarchial fashion. Your intent is to then create a hierarchy expressed in XML. My intent is to create a hierarchy that is loaded into a TreeView. If I figure it out, I let you know. I'll be anxiously watching responses to your thread.

Hi Alex ,

Kindly accept my sincere apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

If your intention is to write the label's text in Xml writter then please refer to the following code snippet.

[C#]

XmlTextWriter textWriter = new XmlTextWriter("..\\..\\myXmFile.xml", Encoding.Unicode);

            foreach (INode node in this.diagram.Model.Nodes)
            {
                if (node is RoundRect)
                {
                    RoundRect rect = node as RoundRect;

                    textWriter.WriteStartElement("Employees");

                    textWriter.WriteStartElement("Name");
                    textWriter.WriteString(rect.Labels[0].Text);
                    textWriter.WriteEndElement();

                    textWriter.WriteStartElement("EmployeeID");
                    textWriter.WriteString(rect.Labels[1].Text);
                    textWriter.WriteEndElement();

                    textWriter.WriteEndElement();

                }
            }
            textWriter.Close();
