What is new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 4.4.0 . Timelines help you plan and communicate project schedules by showing project phases and deadlines in a format that?s easy to read and understand. In previous versions, developers could place timeline shapes on Microsoft Visio drawing page. However, they could not manage the configuration timeline dialog values. Using Microsoft Office Visio, users can quickly create clean, organized timelines that make it easy to order events and share information. Previously, the Aspose.Diagram API allowed developers to populate the timeline with milestones and intervals. There was no way to set the date, date format, type and auto update flag, however. These features are now supported. Features added across the API allow the milestones to update date, date format, type and auto update flag to create professional diagrams. Developers can now retrieve a shape?s properties using its name. The Shape.PropCollection.GetProp method searches all properties of the shape. Previously, it was difficult to find the exact property ID, and then get the property. With this latest release, we just need to pass the exact property name. Developers can use either the property ID or name: the PropCollection.GetProp method gives developers these options. This new version brings fixes to reported bugs, error messages and include various other enhancements such as .NET Application gets stuck while adding a container shape on the diagram page, VSD to PDF conversion, the portion of the source PDF file gets cut off, Error in the elements when loading VSD drawing, Shape?s hyperlink is not visible in the output VDX format using Microsoft Visio 2013 Viewer and many more. Here is the list of important enhancements and bugs fixed in the new version.
