Removing all the nodes on a layer from the model

[Michael Jones]

How do you remove all the nodes from a layer - deleting the nodes from the diagram.

I tried this, but it has no effect:

for (int i = DiagramCanvas.Model.Layers[myLayerName].Nodes.Count - 1; i > 0; i--)
DiagramCanvas.Model.Layers[myLayerName].Nodes.Remove(DiagramCanvas.Model.Layers[myLayerName].Nodes[i]);

I have also tried removing directrly from the model using:

DiagramCanvas.Model.Nodes.Remove(DiagramCanvas.Model.Layers[myLayerName].Nodes[i])

Hi Michael ,

If your intention is to remove all the nodes from the layer then you can use Model.RemoveChild() method. Please refer to the following code snippet.

[C#]

foreach (INode node in this.layer1.Nodes)
            {
                Node objnode = node as Node;
                this.diagram1.Model.RemoveChild(objnode);
                this.diagram1.Update();
            }

Please refer the below sample to remove all the node from the diagram.

In this sample you can remove the nodes in the layer by clicking on File-> RemoveNodes menuitem.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

It does not work.
If you use code like


foreach (Node node in _activeDiagram.Model.Layers[0].Nodes)
{
node.EditStyle.AllowDelete = true;
_activeDiagram.Model.RemoveChild(node);
}

Exception "collection was modified" occurs after one iteration.
