When I get the property "OutgoingLinks" from a DiagramNode object, it is always empty. It doesn't seem to matter how many links are present and originate at the node, that property is always empty. Is this a known issue?

           DiagramLinkCollection links = node.OutgoingLinks;

No, these are ShapeNodes.

           ShapeNode node = new ShapeNode(FlowDiagram)
                                {
                                    Bounds = new Rect(FlowTask.XLocation, FlowTask.YLocation, 32, 32),
                                    Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri(imageUri, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)),
                                    ImageAlign = ImageAlign.Center,
                                    Transparent = true,
                                    Pen = new Pen(Brushes.Black),
                                    Tag = new TaskNodeTag(FlowTask, SUBSCRIPTIONID, flow, ISPROPERTIESEDITABLE, cn),
                                    BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black),
                                    BorderThickness = new Thickness(1, 1, 1, 1),
                                    AnchorPattern = anchorPattern,
                                    Locked = true,
                                   
                                };

Yes, this does work. I guess I am not sure why it makes a difference. I was just creating a new link, setting the from and to node and adding it to the diagram.

               foreach (DiagramNode node in diagram.Nodes)
               {
                   if (node is ContainerNode)
                   {
                       if (fromTaskId == ((TaskNodeTag)((ContainerNode)node).Children[0].Tag).Task.Id)
                       {
                           fromNode = (ShapeNode)node;
                       }
                       else if (toTask == ((TaskNodeTag)((ContainerNode)node).Children[0].Tag).Task.Id)
                       {
                           toNode = (ShapeNode)node;
                       }
                   }
               }
               if (fromNode != null && toNode != null)
               {
                   DiagramLink link = new DiagramLink(diagram, fromNode, toNode)
                                          {
                                              Pen = routePen,
                                              Brush = routeBrush,
                                              HeadPen = routePen,
                                              TextBrush = routeTextBrush,
                                              Style = procPrefs.StrightLines ? LinkStyle.Polyline : LinkStyle.Bezier,
                                              Tag = new RouteLinkTag(route, -1, flow.ProcessId, true, ((TaskNodeTag) ((ContainerNode) fromNode).Children[0].Tag).TaskType, ((TaskNodeTag) ((ContainerNode) toNode).Children[0].Tag).TaskType, ((TaskNodeTag) ((ContainerNode) fromNode).Children[0].Tag).TaskDescription, ((TaskNodeTag) ((ContainerNode) toNode).Children[0].Tag).TaskDescription),
                                              Text = route.Description,
                                              Dynamic = true,
                                          };
diagram.Links.Add(link2);


If this a bug in the diagram controls or is this an incorrect way of doing it?

Don

No, I was checking them afterward.

I finally figured this out. We use a container node so that the text moves with the image when the user drags a node around but they can not select it. This also allows the arrows of the links to be outside the text. The double click event gives us the shape node that holds the image and not the container node. If I look at the parent (which is the container node) I get the outbound links. Thanks.
