fetching information from visio and using in visual studio
HELP.....
ok this is the scenario: I have just made a UML diagram or class diagram and saved it in visio.
Now what i want to do is find out how i can dynamilcally, using coding in C# or VB.NET, load the document in my programs and fetch information from it.
Examples of the type of information i want is : class name, attributes, function names...basically the entire shema or metadata about the class diagram created in visio.
please assist in any way possible

Actually access to the UML model data is not exposed through Visio SDK API.
There is a workaround albeit not easy and straightforward if you want to get at the metadata programmatically. You could directly generate classes and its members from the model. You'll need the Visio for Enterprise Architect edition for that. Then you could use the Code Model API to get the metadata.
