| | Rewriing Microsoft Visio using WPF ..NETters, We are working on an engineering drawing application. Many features are similar to that of Visio. There will be a drawing pad where the user can create different shapes. There will be a ruler along the borders of the drawing pad for precise drawing. The back end engine is complete. Now we are contemplating on using .NET 3.0 WPF for the front end. It appears there are two document models that Microsoft is promoting: 1. Fixed document framework. 2. XPS document framework If you were to rewrite Visio like application, which one would you use? Thank you in advance for enlightening me. Pradeep |

XPS isnt really something used in applications. Its a package format - think of XPS kind of like PDF. It something you might output too. -- Chad Z.

| | Re: Rewriing Microsoft Visio using WPF Hello, XPS isn't targeting what you want. If you want my opinion on what tipe of document to chose? XAML. All the best, Andrei Iacob.
