Visio 2002 Developer's Survival Pack Tools and Samples
Chapter 21: Exe Solutions
Visio 2002 DSP home   This page

Overview

This folder contains a Visual Basic project for the ReflectArgs.exe sample, described in the book, and a sample Visio document to call it (ReflectArgs.vsd).

Installation

Before this sample will work, it's necessary to install the executable somewhere where Visio can find it as an Addon. This means placing it in a subdirectory of the Visio\..\Solutions directory structure. You will probably want to create your own such subdirectory to avoid muddling your own solutions with the ones provided by Visio.

Once ReflectArgs.Exe is in place, you need to provoke Visio to survey it. You can do this most easily by starting Visio and visiting the Tools > Addons menu one time. After this the ReflectArgs.vsd sample should work as advertised!

Using The Source Code

If you want to view and recompile the Visual Basic source code, please see the general advice on this subject here.
