    settings.Name = "Diagram";
}).Import(Model).GetHtml()

C#

public partial class FunctionalityController {
    public ActionResult SimpleView() {
        var content = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(MapPath("~/App_Data/diagram-flow.json"));
        return DemoView("SimpleView", "SimpleView", content);

}

Use the ASPxClientDiagram.Export and ASPxClientDiagram.Import methods to save and load the diagram data on the client side.

Note

The Diagram stores an opened diagram’s data in its own text format. Do not modify the data the Export method returns because a modified document can be loaded incorrectly.
