How to obtain info about what nodes a link connect.

[Administrator]

Hi, I downloaded evaluation to determine whether this is suitable for my purposes, in order to purchase.

What I want to do is:
When user drags and drops a link, and connects 2 nodes with it, it displays a pop-up message saying which nodes have been connected and in what direction.

1) Can I implement that?
2) How do I do it?

Thanks,
Ameel

Btw. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and latest Syncfusion release.

I tried the following:
http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Diagram.Windows/ConnectedSymbols/main.htm

It doesn't work
Error:
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'CirclePort' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Ameel\Desktop\_ConnectedSymbols\CustomSymbol\MySymbol.cs 35 43 CustomSymbol
Error 2 The type or namespace name 'CirclePort' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Ameel\Desktop\_ConnectedSymbols\CustomSymbol\MySymbol.cs 36 43 CustomSymbol
Error 3 The type or namespace name 'ConnectionCollectionEventArgs' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Ameel\Desktop\_ConnectedSymbols\CustomSymbol\Form1.cs 377 93 CustomSymbol


I also tried:
http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Diagram.Windows/F57324/main.htm
But I get error:
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'CirclePort' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Ameel\Desktop\_CustomSymbol\CustomSymbol\MySymbol.cs 35 43 CustomSymbol
Error 2 The type or namespace name 'CirclePort' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Ameel\Desktop\_CustomSymbol\CustomSymbol\MySymbol.cs 36 43 CustomSymbol


So, what can i do?

Hi Ameel,

The samples that you tried, didn't work as they were coded for the v4.4.0.51.

The v6.4.0.15 is the latest release version and I assume you are using this version of Syncfusion Essential Studio Products.

Now, regarding the information about what nodes connect when a link is made using line connector and in which direction, can be got as follows:

To get the nodes:
Head Node:
------
Node h_node = t_connector.ToNode as Node;
------

Tail Node:
------
Node t_node = t_connector.FromNode as Node;
------

To get the direction at which the connector connects to the Node, is got as follows:
Head Node:
---------
t_connector.HeadingHead.ToString()
---------

Tail Node:
---------
t_connector.HeadingTail.ToString()
---------

For your convenience I am attaching my sample file that will guide and demonstrate you how the detection of Nodes takes place.

Update me with you experiences and post your comments here for any other details required in this regard, Thanks!
