Connect Shapes
This section explains how to connect two shapes using Aspose.Diagram for .NET.
Connect Shapes
The ConnectShapesViaConnector method connect two shapes via a connector in the Page class.
The code below shows how to:
- Create a diagram from stencil.
- Add two rectangles shape to page.
- Add a connector shape to page.
- Connect the two rectangles with the connector using ConnectShapesViaConnector mothod
- save diagram
Connect Shapes Programming Sample

string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_VisioPages(); | |
string stencil = dataDir + "Basic Shapes.vss"; | |
// create a diagram from stencil | |
Diagram diagram = new Diagram(stencil); | |
string connectorMaster = "Dynamic connector"; | |
string rectangleMaster = "Rectangle"; | |
// add two rectangles to page 0 | |
long rectangle1 = diagram.AddShape(2, 2, rectangleMaster, 0); | |
long rectangle2 = diagram.AddShape(2, 4, rectangleMaster, 0); | |
// add a connector to page 0 | |
Shape connector1 = new Shape(); | |
long connecter1Id = diagram.AddShape(connector1, connectorMaster, 0); | |
// connect the two rectangles with the connector | |
diagram.Pages[0].ConnectShapesViaConnector(rectangle1, ConnectionPointPlace.Right, rectangle2, ConnectionPointPlace.Bottom, connecter1Id); | |
// If the connection of shapes has name, we also could use connection name to connect like below | |
//diagram.Pages[0].ConnectShapesViaConnector(shape1, "Port7", shape2, "Port21", connecter1Id); | |
// The code line above is equal to the below two lines | |
//diagram.Pages[0].GlueShapeToConnectorBeginX(shape1, "Port7", connecter1Id); | |
//diagram.Pages[0].GlueShapeToConnectorEndX(shape2, "Port21", connecter1Id); | |
// Save diagram | |
diagram.Save(dataDir + "ConnectShapes_out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX); |
