[Solved] Connect two items programmatically

[Sina]

Hi,

I want to connect two item on the diagram programmatically. I am not sure that the procedure is correct or not?

1) set a  ID (name)

2) search diagram.Shap array and find two ID

3) make connection with source and target index based on ID <name> found in step 2

Thank you.

Hello Sina,

Thank you for writing.

You can find shapes in your diagram based on their name, then you can create a connection between them using the approach suggested here: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/diagram/diagram-items/connections/connection-types. 

var source = this.radDiagram1.Shapes.Where(s => s.Name == "Source").FirstOrDefault();
var target = this.radDiagram1.Shapes.Where(s => s.Name == "Target").FirstOrDefault();

RadDiagramConnection polylineConnection = new RadDiagramConnection() { Name = "connection1" };

polylineConnection.Source = source;
polylineConnection.Target = target;
polylineConnection.ConnectionType = Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core.ConnectionType.Polyline;
radDiagram1.AddShape(polylineConnection);

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions do not hesitate to write back.
