I need to be able to generate dependency diagrams programmatically. I'd like it to be able to generate a bunch of boxes with labels and connectors linking them, and ideally the component would position them automatically onto a design surface which could then be manually rearranged.
I'm using WinForms and C# 2.0 (VS2005).
EDIT: However, since it'll be an internal tool, I can probably use 3.5 SP1 and WPF if there any suggestions in that arena.
Must be free or open source.
Any recommendations?
Too late for the questioner but perhaps interesting for researchers:
NShape
NShape is an Open Source diagram designing framework for .NET WinForms. Software developers use NShape to integrate diagramming capabilities into their applications. Using NShape, applications let users view, annotate, modify and create diagrams like flow charts, wiring schemes or project charts. NShape is open source and has a dual license which allows it to be employed for free in open source projects and for a license fee in commercial projects.
