Visio to XAML Export - Now with an Installer

Saveen Reddy's blog - Visio Export To Xaml: Now with an Installer"

"I added an installer program so that you can just try the export without being forced to compiling the source. I also made some minor UI changes.

How to Install

  • First, make sure you've installed Visio 2007.
  • Download the ZIP for the installer from the VisioExportToXAML codeplex project and extract to a folder
  • Then run the Setup.EXE.
  • ...

Much easier to play with this now...

How the heck do you get this to work. I've tried it and all I can see in the output is SVG not XAML. THe SVG generated also seems to have some MS specials in it that Expression refuses to recognise. I must be daft and not know how to use it.

Been a while since I've looked at this... (and it seems I don't even have Visio installed on this PC anymore... sigh)

In looking at the Project Issues page (http://visioexporttoxaml.codeplex.com/WorkItem/List.aspx) it looks like the SVG is actually just a temporary file? So there should be a "real" xaml file there somewhere?

Best bet might be to post a question on the Project's discussion page (http://visioexporttoxaml.codeplex.com/Thread/List.aspx)

Or maybe even better contact the author via his blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/saveenr/

Hope this helps a little bit at least,
