Creating visio document w/o visio application

D

I downloaded the visio2003 sdk but it seems like this is intended to be
used in combination with the visio application. I want to have a
feature that allows the user to export "html" diagrams from a web
application.

Does this mean that visio has to be installed on the server? Is there a
way other than to create an xml (.vdx) file?

The visio xml schema is available on MSDN, so theoretically you could create
an XSD (xml version of a visio file) without visio. However you would still
need visio to 'morph' it into an html file for web display.

What i meant was... I want to export my html into visio format. I guess
I have no choice but to create the long xml file myself...

You would probably be more successful to use the root data (vs the html) to
create the visio chart. Would still require coding.
sorry for my misunderstanding,

It was my mistake, I should have been clearer...

wow, the xml format for visio is quite complicated.. There must be an
easier way to create the xml isn't there?
