Reading Visio documents

[Bragadiru]

Hi all,

I want to write an app in C# to read all shapes from a visio document (vsd
file). How can I do it, without Visio installed on target computer ? If I
understood correctly, VBA needs Visio installed.
I'm searching a library like OpenDwg for AutoCAD or OpenDwg for MicroStation
files.

Thanks for any advice

2 choices:
1. Get the files in vdx rather than vsd
2. Use th Visio Viewer activex because it exposes shapes, custom properties,
layers, hyperlinks.
