Diagramming Component

[Dave Taylor]

I'm looking for a .NET diagramming component to draw process flowsheets in a
WinForms app. My first idea was to use the Visio ActiveX drawing control,
which has proven to be kludgy at best. I've also looked at two purely .NET
components, Syncfusion's Essential Diagram and Northwoods GoDiagram.
Syncfusion's is very buggy and its "custom symbols" are rather cumbersome to
design. Northwoods seems to be my choice so far, but I'm wondering if there
are others people have used and like for whatever reason or another. Cost
is somewhat of a concern, looking for something in the $1-2K range.

Thanks

Hi Dave

I have used AddFlow by Patrick Lassalle:

www.lassalle.com

It is very flexible, and well within the $1-2k target.

Might be useful. Here is a list I put together:
