Is it possible to manipulate objects in a diagram from asp.net cod

[Joseph Burton]

Here is my project.

We created a map diagram in visio 2002 that shows were everyone sits in the
building.

What we want to do is when someone comes into the building they could choose
a name from the dropdown list and it will show where the person is located in
the building.

We want to write a program in asp.net that will interface the visio diagram,
reference that particular object,highlight it, and then display the map to
the screen
as a web page.

My other question is, does visio have to be installed on the target machine
in order to display the map?

Only if you are showing the Visio diagram within Visio ActiveX on the
web page.
What you should do instead is to have Visio on your ASP page export the
result to a standard image file ( GIF, JPG, etc ) and display that in
your web page to the user.

you could try using the Visio Viewer, since it's free and as far as i know
distributable ( unfortunately it's about 5mb , so for slow connections this
may not be appropriate )

but i'm sure using an exported image file would be more efficient (smaller
file size than .vsd)
