Visio Stencil to open in visual studio

[Visio to Visual Studio 2008]

Okay currently expoted all of my companies network structure form Netviz to
Visio. I am wanting to create a Visual Studio Web Application using the
stencils. ANy one know how to do this or where to point me?

I'm a little confused, but that's normal. Stencils are collections of shapes
( "I am wanting to create a Visual Studio Web Application using the
stencils") and you "exported all of my companies network structure from
Netviz to
Visio ", which should be drawings...

Assuming you're talking about drawings (and not stencils), you can save the
drawings as web pages (check out John Goldsmith's site for a wealth of
information - http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/).

You can integrate the drawings with Sharepoint
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb229690.aspx)

Okay, let me try to clarify a bit. My compnay currently utilizes NetViz to
create our Network infrastructure. NetViz is no longer a viable option. So I
was tasked with exporting the NetViz templates to Visio. So now I have it all
in Visio. What I need to do now is to open Visual Studio, ASP.Net, and have
the template forms drawings, whatever they are called to display in Visual
Studio. From this point I will make sure all the links work.

I kind of got it to work one way. I opend Visual Studio and went to File
then Open and clicked on the Visio Template that I had previously saved as a
web page. It opened in Visual studio. But all it showed in the default page
was the title Name and nothing else. So i then opend it or "ran" it and when
it displayed in IE8 it showed everything. But i cant edit it the way it is
now. Any help would be great!
Thanks

For editing a Visio drawing you have to either use Visio natively (open the
drawing on the desktop with Visio installed on the desktop) or you can open
a drawing using the Visio drawing control (which opens Visio 'invisibly' but
still requires that the product be installed on the workstation and is
edited at the workstation, but somebody has to write the 'hosting'
application). The web control that you are seeing with the browser is
probably the Visio Viewer and does not support editing a drawing via the
web.

The short of it is that if you are attempting to set it up so that the user
can edit a Visio drawing, without Visio installed locally, then you will
probably get involved with a remote desktop implementation (citrix, etal.)

So i can edit it in Visio first, save as web page then cces it through visual
studio to run it?

So all my controls, ie: cmdbuttons have to made with shapes in visio and not
visual studio?

I guess my question is "If you can export the drawings (save as web page)",
why do you feel that you need visual studio (beyond pointing at the pages)?
Re: the second question, no, you wouldn't be creating page/cmdbuttons in
visio. Like I said in my first response, check out John's site and it might
add a little more insight to it.

Well my main problem is getting all the pages to link correctly as a web page.

Are you the original poster?
If not then start from the beginning with your problem.
If so then I think we are all totally confused.
