.net with Visio

[booner]

I have the need from a VB.Net app - create a visio document - and in that
document - take a floor map (i.e. a jpg file) and put it in the document.
Then for the types of items ... create symbols (fax machine red circle,
copier - blue square) and put them on the map.

Any/all pointers to doing so ... would be much appreciated. I'd prefer to
have this happen programmatically - i.e. not have Visio launched and then
closed.

Online msdn has many instructive references, you can find them with your
keywords, in those i recommend Introduction to Developing Microsoft Visio
Solutions at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa245244(office.10).aspx .

I'd also like to suggest checking out the visio sdk's (both the v2003 and
v2007). You can also search msdn library for 'facilities' and get examples
of using visio for facility planning.
