Embedding a flowchart design surface in a .net application

Question

I need to incorporate a flowchart design surface into an app we're developing to allow users to create what are essentially workflows/schedules. I need to be able to create my own 'shapes', set custom properties on them and possibly have a bit of logic in there too (if, while etc).

I know I need to take a look at hosting WF in the app, it looks like a good fit, but does anyone know of other designer compoments out there I could use.

Answer 1

Check out the following:

• Mindfusion FlowChart.NET
• GoDiagram

Answer 2

Have a look at these resources, both are free solutions, but compared to the commercial ones (Mindfusion, GoDiagram) they require some more development work on your side:

• WPF Diagram Designer @ CodeProject (requires WPF)
• Netron library (without WPF)
