Hi Ameel,

The following code snippet helps create an Orthogonal connector and defines the direction it must connect.

Code:
******************

OrthogonalConnector m_connector = new OrthogonalConnector(PointF.Empty, new PointF(50, 50));

m_connector.HeadDecorator.DecoratorShape = DecoratorShape.Open45Arrow;

m_connector.HeadingHead = CompassHeading.North;

m_connector.HeadingTail = CompassHeading.West;

******************

I am sure this will resolve your query.

Post your comments if you need any further clarifications, Thanks!

Thanks, but I'm not sure how to use that snippet.
First thing, is that I'm using VB .net on VS 2008
Let me rephrase.

I have button that has, for click event, code:
Diagram1.Controller.ActivateTool("DirectedLineTool")
When user clicks the button, too is activated, and user can connect two nodes with the directedlinetool.
I want to use a Directed Orthogonal line/tool instead.
How do i do that?

Hi Ajeet,
thanks for the solution you attached.
The syncfusion product is v.powerful, but there's no extensive documentation :(
