Create Diagrams in Your WinForms Apps

April 4, 2024
Diagramming controls allow users to visually represent complex systems clearly and efficiently using mindmaps, flowcharts and more.

WinForms diagram controls provide a dedicated canvas for users to create and manipulate visual representations. These controls offer functionalities like displaying and editing various shapes, connectors, and text elements. They often come equipped with features for automatic layout, allowing for efficient organization of complex diagrams. Diagrams are commonly used to simplify and communicate complex ideas, processes, or data. They can show relationships between elements, illustrate steps in a sequence, or represent structures and hierarchies.

  • DevExpress WinForms includes a flexible diagram control that allows for creating flowcharts, UML diagrams, and more.
