Hi,
I need to provide a way for a specific user to generate a Visio diagram
dynamically using database data (SQL Server), from a web page.
The diagram is saved - it's always the same file, I kill the previous one
and save it with the same name - and the user can see it in an
embedded viewer.
I'm well aware of the security, stability issues of server-side automation
of Office but I already made the code and - for now - it's working as
expected.
Does anyone have an alternative way to solve this problem? I would like to
somehow use XML but I don't believe that the viewer would be able to show it
correctly.
I can't automate client-side because the user that needs this
functionality must access it from anywhere on the network.
