Essential Diagram for ASP.NET

• Serialization
  Diagram files can now be loaded and saved seamlessly in SOAP formats. The new “SaveSoap” and “LoadSoap” methods let the user save and open a diagram created in DiagramWebControl.

Essential Diagram for Silverlight

• Dynamic line connectors
  Essential Diagram for Silverlight now provides support for dynamically creating connections at run time by setting the EnabledConnection property of DiagramView to True and then clicking and dragging the mouse pointer over the node and dropping it on another node on the page. The start node acts as the head node and the hit node acts as the tail node for the new line.
• Symbol palette support
  The symbol palette is a large collection of predefined nodes. It allows dragging and dropping nodes and line connectors, making them easier to manage. Custom symbols can also be added to the symbol palette.

Essential Diagram for WPF

• Line Bridging
  Line Bridging creates a bridge for lines to cross over other lines at points of intersection. When two line connectors meet each other, the line with higher z-order will draw an arc over the line with lower z-order. Only straight and orthogonal connector types support line bridging.
