ASPxClientDiagram.Export Method

Exports the diagram data in JSON format.

Declaration

Export(): string

Returns

Type	Description
string	The diagram data in JSON format.

Remarks

The Export method allows you to save information about the diagram’s layout, appearance, and shape positions.

The control saves the diagram’s data in its own text format. The resulting JSON object contains measurements in twips, regardless of the Units or ViewUnits property values. Do not modify this JSON object because modified data can load incorrectly.

Use the Import(data) method to load this data to the ASPxDiagram control.
