Exception When Accessing Shapes

[alon.albert]

I am working on a small Visio Addon where I added a DocumentOpened
event handler that needs to iterate all the shapes.

Whenever I access doc.DocumentSheet.Shapes however, I get the following
exception:

Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x86DB089B):

Cannot create object.

at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.ShapeClass.get_Shapes()

at Tutorial.Connect.onDocumentOpened(Document doc) in
q:\visiotest\tutorial\connect.cs:line 70


Any ideas? Other things like adding attributes to the shape when it is
dropped seem to work fine.

The DocumentSheet does not have any Shapes.

A Document has Pages and a Page has Shapes

Document.Pages(n).Shapes....
