Re: Visio Flowcharting + ASP.Net 2.0 webpage

Hi Geoff,

Actually, I thought that the ActiveX Control *could* be used with ASP.Net
2.0 (I'm not an expert and haven't tried), but I think the issue is that the
clients would have to have Visio installed...

....other Visio/ASP geeks please chime in here!

Other options:
The Visio Viewer (browser plug-in) is free to all, but I don't think you can
automate it very much. However, you need only serve up pre-created Visio
files to your audience. It is possible to create Visio files in the
Visio-xml format, create them on-the-fly, then serve them to Viewer clients.
I'm not saying it's as easy as automating Visio proper to do this, though
: )

Hi,

I am currently redeveloping an MS Access application to ASP.Net 2.0.
Also part of the software are dynamic flowcharts generating component
using Visio with VBA and retrieving data from the Access back end..

From what I can tell from other posts Visio 2003 ActiveX Control
cannot be used with an ASP.NET webpage to dynamically create a
flowchart by retrieving data from a database.

There is talk about using Visio 2003 ActiveX Control with IE Browser
Control and VB Script. Can this be used with an ASP.NET 2.0 web page.

Is there other flowcharting software that is compatable with ASP.NET
(webcontrol) that can access data to dynamically create a flowchart ?

Thanks

Geoff
