Hello,

It seems 'exp' is not initialized. Try with this

MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter exp = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.VisioExporter();
exp.Export(_flowChart, "C:\\file\\FlowChart.vdx");

Hello,

There is a 'VisioExport.vxt' file that must be in the current directory when exporting. It contains an empty Visio XML document, which the exporter fills in with the diagram data. Make sure that file is in the application's current directory or where the exe is.

There was a bug that prevented the exporter find the template file in some situations:

http://mindfusion.org/cgi/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=fcnet_disc;action=display;num=1129...

We fixed that and sent patched versions to registered customers, but the trial version is not fixed yet.

You should not create that file with Visio but use the one provided with FlowChart.NET. It is located in \Program Files\MindFusion\FlowChart.NET, just copy it to the folder where the .exe file is located.

Do you use custom shape definitions in your application ? At this time only the predefined Flowchart.NET shapes can be exported. If some of the predefined shapes are not exported, can you let us know their IDs or upload a diagram file here so we check them ourselves:

Thank you
