Using Visio objects in either VB.net or C#

[Jerry]

I'm thinking about using Visio object in my VB.net project to create Visio diagrams based on my .vb or .cs files. So is my only option is to us com-interop or is there a better interface to Visio objects? That's question one

Question two, is there at very good or great programming guides on-line to show me or get me started using Visio objects. I know vb.net, c# fairly good but could use some examples. Even VB6 examples would be helpful

Thanks in advance!!!

My favorite references are hard copy and not on-line. That said Graham
Widemans book(s) have a good discussion on alternatives for developing Visio
solutions (com, standalone, vsl).
Regarding the second question msdn => library => office development => visio
2000 => articles has several good vb(a) examples of how visio can be used.
David Edson has several excellent examples in his book.
Finally, although not asked, consider "uml with vs.net, unmasking visio fo
the enterprise architect"

The Visio 2003 SDK on MSDN also has a tutorial on managed code solution development (VB.NET). It contains 4 projects along with accompanying lessons. It's a good place to get started with Visio managed code programming
