Microsoft Visio 2007: Playing with Visio and Silverlight
– A proof of concept papers by Christian Fillies
In Semtation, we are providing a partner SemTalk Visio solution mentioned. It is a complement to Visio which enables our customers to create business processes and knowledge models within Visio more consistently using most popular signs. The increased use case these days is to deliver platforms for intranet portals process, often driven by moss or SAP Knowledge Warehouse. The most popular scenario is a common document library in MOSS with some amendments, approval and publishing workflows. Approved Process Models be issued as Visio or HTML documents on the portal. Documents must be accessible to end users, filtered by meta data reflecting the user's role within the company or, even more, its position in a particular business process. The actual rate of model editors using Visio to model readers is about 1:10 or so. Shipping Visio on the client side, even as the Visio Viewer, lacking any programmability, is not an option in many cases. Even the publishing process, which is basically generating HTML, it seems too much effort. Customers are asking for Visio based solutions that are more "database driven" especially in the context of MOSS.
Along with Microsoft's MCS and the MTC Munich team, we developed a first proof of concept for a customer interested in Knowledge Management. The aim was to replace HTML generated from Visio / SemTalk by a spectator more dynamic compared to plain HTML Details at: Physics, Silverlight and Visualization … How companies can benefit!
Silverlight 1.1 is used to draw the design and the data dynamically from an application of Powers Flux Jeff available capacity that can be executed within a MOSS web part now.
The typical situation in BPM scenarios is that we have a fixed set of master shapes for notations such as BPMN or EPC. The obvious next step is to extract XAML directly from Visio including layout and positioning information. This could done by XPS as described in How to export Visio shapes to XAML and use Silverlight. After an export of all standard forms contained in a template, XAML, it's easy to create a style template in Visio Silverlight, which allows also some editing. We have connected the Silverlight control to a base data, added some trivial functions for selecting and moving shapes, functionality to add and delete nodes and connections. All data are stored in a database SQL accessible via Silverlight Web Services. Silverlight is pretty cool. You will be able to do many things that previously did with the leaf shape programming Visio.
