Any static HTML page in /javascript/examples can be turned into an ASP.NET page in a few
|
|
simple steps as shown below. When using mxGraph in ASP.NET one must keep in mind that it
|
|
consists of a client-side part (JavaScript), which runs in the browser, and a server-side
|
|
part, in C#, which runs in the server (IIS). The server-side code can be used to create,
|
|
read, write, and layout graphs. The client is used to modify graphs interactively, but it
|
|
doesn't require a server while the graph is being modifed. It only exchanges data with the
|
|
server at load- and save-time and to create images. All data is exchanged in XML.
|
|
Hence there are three different approaches for turning a static HTML page with mxGraph into
|
|
an ASP.NET page, one of which is keeping the static page and handling all XHR requests in
|
|
separate ASP.NET handlers. The second approach is to create a so-called AJAX Client Control,
|
|
which in our case is a simple wrapper that creates the mxGraph instance and adds methods.
|
|
This solution allows for easier integration into an ASP.NET page or Web User Control. The
|
|
third approach is creating a ASP.NET Ajax Server control. This uses the same client-side
|
|
but adds the code for creating the control instance on the client, and some server-side code
|
|
for emitting the required HTML tags for the control. Since mxGraph is almost only a client-
|
|
side functionality this last approach is typically application-specific and not used here.

Loads the mx client library. You can move this into the page or keep it in the HEAD. If the
|
|
client is required multiple times in the page then it should only be loaded once. The global
|
|
mxBasePath variable is required for loading the language files and images in the client. You
|
|
should create a virtual directory pointing to mxgraph/javascript on your server and update
|
|
the base path and URL of mxClient.js accordingly. Note that you should always load the page
|
|
and the client from the same server to avoid cross-domain restrictions when loading files.
|
|
In this example, the virtual directory is expected to point to the top-leve directory.

Uses script manager to load the AJAX Client Control. This is the standard way of loading an
|
|
an external script file and the script defines a leightweight ASP.NET wrapper for mxGraph
|
|
that adds methods for reading and writing graphs in XML.

The following static markup is used (via the ID) as the container of the graph. This doesn't
|
|
need to be changed to work with ASP.NET. The button is used to implement the save function,
|
|
which posts the current graph as XML to an ASP.NET handler. Note that the button and the
|
|
graph are wired up later, after the graph instance was created, using the unique ID of the
|
|
button to add its click handler which takes care of the encoding and posting.

The following is the standard way of creating an AJAX Client Control instance. The main from
|
|
the static page corresponds to this function. Its invocation was moved from the pages onload
|
|
event to the applications init event, which fires after all scripts have been loaded.
|
|
Alternatively the load event can be used, which fires after all controls have been created.
