Using Visio shapes in C#

Hello All,

We are developing a UI based application which supports creation of custom
shapes.
Can we leverage Visio for this purpose? If so then where can i find more
information.

My requirement is to draw Visio objects on .NET windows forms (using C#) and
define
cutom properties for the same and display them in property box.

Where can i find more information about importing and usage of visio
shapes(objects) in .NET windows forms.

Pls throw some light on this.

Thanks in Advance
Keshav

Keshav,

You'll be interested in the Visio 2003 ActiveX drawing control.
