Question

I am using DSL Tools for Visual Studio 2005.

I have a DSL where at a certain point I would like to create a new Diagram using custom code.

So far, I was able to create a new Diagram by overwriting the current, already opened diagram. Code follows:

FEGeneratorDiagram diag = new FEGeneratorDiagram(ThisElem.Store); diag.Associate(ThisElem); FEGeneratorDiagram currentDiag = (FEGeneratorDiagram)ThisElem.Store.ElementDirectory.FindElements<FEGeneratorDiagram>(false)[0]; currentDiag = diag; 

But, what I would really like to do would be,

to create a new DSL document with a new instance FEGeneratorDiagram and then keep on my logic of adding elements and setting properties.

Any help?

//Create a Store Type[] modelTypes = new Type[] { typeof(CoreDesignSurfaceDomainModel), typeof(FEGeneratorDomainModel) }; Store store = new Store(modelTypes); RootElement root; using (Transaction t = store.TransactionManager.BeginTransaction('Create Elements')) {     root = FEGeneratorSerializationHelper.Instance.LoadModel(store, diagramPath, null, null);     t.Commit(); } //Do whatever custom things you want!  SerializationResult result = new SerializationResult(); //Save the file FEGeneratorSerializationHelper.Instance.SaveModel(result, root, diagramPath);
