connect shapes

[alinaa]

I am trying to connect 2 shapes (rack and server), programatically from C#.
Can you suggest some documents or samples about how this can be done? And
after that, how can I set some properties for a rack (like number of "U").

Thanks

You could glue them or add them to a group shape.

Check out the following link:

Developing Visio Solutions - Automating Connections

Also the Visio SDK has a number of samples in c#:

For the "U" question, have you had a look at the ShapeSheet of the Rack
shape found in the Network / Rack Diagram template?

Hope that helps.

Best regards
