Information-Rich Diagrams
Build elegant diagrams and org charts

Our WinForms Diagram component allows users to draw org charts, flowcharts, and diagrams from scratch, load visualizations from an XML file, or generate visual relationships from a data source.
DevExpress Diagram includes a fully integrated Visual Studio Diagram Designer. With it, you can construct diagrams at design time and allow users to modify diagrams within your WinForms app at runtime. Visual Studio Smart tags help you easily add a Ribbon UI, a Toolbox, and our Pan/Zoom/Property Panels to your WinForms app.
