AddFlow for .NET is a 100% managed C# diagramming and flowcharting control developed by Lassalle Technologies to let developers quickly build interactive workflow diagrams, database schemas, organizational charts, and network topologies into Windows applications. It serves as a highly scalable and lightweight visual component available for both WinForms and WPF environments. 🛠️ Core Architecture & Performance
100% Managed Code: Built entirely in C# to align perfectly with the .NET infrastructure and environment.
Ultra-Lightweight Assembly: The main assembly (e.g., Lassalle.Flow.dll) is heavily optimized, keeping deployment footprints as low as 324 Kb.
Performance Virtualization: Bypasses heavy rendering bottlenecks by utilizing low-level WPF DrawingVisual objects and element virtualization for lag-free performance with thousands of objects.
Minimalist Object Model: Limits complex class inflation, using a clean abstract hierarchy rooted at Item splitting primarily into Node, Link, and Caption classes. 🎨 Design & Interaction Features
Dual Graph Generation: Allows users to dynamically build diagrams via mouse-driven drag-and-drop interaction or auto-populate layouts programmatically via backend API.
Custom Shape Derivation: Features complete custom drawing through OwnerDraw events, customizable polygonal layouts, gradient fills, and customized text anchoring.
Advanced Link Intersections: Manages dense diagrams cleanly with customizable link jumps (JumpSize), rounded polyline corners, and explicit canvas pinning.
Interactive Canvas Controls: Ships out-of-the-box with real-time zooming, mouse panning, canvas grids, and interactive, in-place node text editing. ⚙️ Automation & Licensing Advantages AddFlow for .NET V2.1 Download
