Aspose.Diagram for .NET API is a solution for Microsoft Visio file manipulation requirements. It allows the .NET applications to read, write, export, and process Microsoft Visio diagrams while supporting all Visio objects & properties including shapes, pages, images, shape masters, stencils, text, layers, header, footers, user-defined cells, hyperlinks, file protection, geometries, text boxes, and comments.

Aspose.Diagram for .NET can also be used to apply protection to the Microsoft Visio drawings by locking backgrounds, stencils (master) as well as shapes and styles to avoid any accidental amendments.

Visio File Processing Features

• Create Microsoft Visio diagrams from scratch via API.
• Read or write Microsoft Visio drawings.
• Export Visio diagrams to various popular formats including PDF, images, HTML and more.
• Print Visio diagrams on a physical or virtual printer.
• Access Visio diagram properties for manipulation or just inspection.
• Protect Visio diagrams via applying locks on various levels.
• Manipulate the embedded OLE objects in the Visio diagrams.

Load a VSS Template to Create a Visio Diagram with C# Code

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.Diagram API performs in your own environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// create a new diagram
var diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "template.vss");
// add a new rectangle shape
long shapeId = diagram.AddShape(4.25, 5.5, 2, 1, @"Rectangle", 0);
var shape = diagram.Pages[0].Shapes.GetShape(shapeId);
shape.Text.Value.Add(new Txt(@"Rectangle text."));
// add a new hexagon shape
shapeId = diagram.AddShape(7.0, 5.5, 2, 2, @"Hexagon", 0);
shape = diagram.Pages[0].Shapes.GetShape(shapeId);
shape.Text.Value.Add(new Txt(@"Hexagon text."));
// save the diagram in VDX format
diagram.Save(dir + "output.vdx", SaveFileFormat.VDX);

Retrieve Layers of a Visio VSDX Diagram

Aspose.Diagram for .NET allows .NET applications to work with layers of Visio drawings. The following C# code example shows how to fetch all the layers of a VSDX file:

// load source Visio diagram
var diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "Drawing1.vsdx");
// get diagram page
var page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-1");
// iterate through the layers and print properties
foreach (Layer layer in page.PageSheet.Layers)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + layer.Name.Value);
    Console.WriteLine("Visibility: " + layer.Visible.Value);
    Console.WriteLine("Status: " + layer.Status.Value);
}
