Syncfusion Essential Diagram is an extensible and high-performance .NET diagramming framework for Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications. It can be used for programmatically creating flowchart, workflow, network, swimlane, maps, org chart, process flow, state transitions and other such diagrams or for developing Microsoft Visio-like interactive graphics and diagramming applications. It stores graphical objects in a node graph and renders those objects onto the screen. Essential Diagram supports both vector and raster graphics on the drawing surface. There are several built-in layout routines that will help you easily create common layout patterns like hierarchical and directed tree layouts. The ASP.Net version uses AJAX internally to perform diagram refresh during user-interaction. Included with every license is a one-year subscription for unlimited technical support and updates.
Syncfusion Essential Diagram is also available as part of Syncfusion Essential Studio.

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.
