WPF Diagram - Use DiagramOrgChartBehavior to Generate a Diagram from a Collection

This example uses the DiagramOrgChartBehavior to generate a hierarchical diagram from a data source or collection.

Implementation Details

1. Add the DiagramOrgChartBehavior to the DiagramControl.
2. Specify the following properties to map the behavior to data:
   • The ItemsSource property specifies a collection of source items.
   • KeyMember and ParentMember properties specify an item hierarchy for self-referential data.
3. Use the Item Template Designer to create "templates" for diagram items and connectors. This designer creates a TemplateDiagram object that contains generated code with diagram shapes and connectors.
