GoDiagram (6 and previous)

Hi,
I am trying to make a test application, so I can persuade my managers to buy goDiagram .
I read the gowin tutorial some days ago.
I need to show a organigram , only show and select nodes, no edit / drag drop / creates …
I want to have the nodes show an icon and a string … so I started from the example FlowGrammer, where the actions and effects have the same requirements :
I added my profile.ico to my resource : Images.resx
I loaded the resource manager :
GoImage.DefaultResourceManager = new ResourceManager(“WindowsApplication.Images”, this.GetType().Assembly);

and i derived a class from goTextNode

public class ProfileNode : GoTextNode {
public ProfileNode() {
this.Shadowed = true;
this.Resizable = false;
this.Label.Alignment = GoObject.Middle;
this.Label.Multiline = false;
this.Label.Wrapping = true;

  this.Brush = Brushes.LightBlue;
  this.Label.Editable = true;
  this.LeftPort = null;
  this.RightPort = null;
  this.Resizable = false;
  this.Bounds = new RectangleF(300, 300, 1000, 1000);
  this.Text       = "STijn Ver Eecke";
  
  SizeF margins = this.TopLeftMargin;
  this.TopLeftMargin = new SizeF(margins.Width + 4 + StandardImageSize.Width, margins.Height);
  // add the GoImage
  GoImage img = new GoImage();
  img.Selectable = false;
  img.Size = GoObject.LargestSizeKeepingAspectRatio(StandardImageSize, img.Size);
  Add(img);
  img.Name = "profile";

}

public readonly SizeF StandardImageSize = new SizeF(32, 32);

public override void LayoutChildren(GoObject childchanged) {
base.LayoutChildren(childchanged);
GoImage img = this.Image;
GoText lab = this.Label;
if (img != null && lab != null) {
PointF p = lab.GetSpotLocation(MiddleLeft);
p.X -= 4; // space between image and label
img.SetSpotLocation(MiddleRight, p);
}
}

public GoImage Image {
get {
foreach (GoObject obj in this) {
GoImage img = obj as GoImage;
if (img != null)
return img;
}
return null;
}
}
…
}

Then I just add the node to a document and that document to my view …

I get to see a rectangular node, displaying my Text, but no Image …

Any tips on what I am doing wrong ???

Works for me if I put a full path to an on-disk .ico file in the line:

img.Name = @"C:\GoDiagramMySamples\App\Ascent.ico";
so it must be something about your setup of the profile icon resource.

Even adding the icon by fullpath, does not seem to work .

so it must be something else ?

How did you name the resource? Your referencing code uses “profile”, but maybe you named it “profile.ico” or something else? You can also investigate the ResourceManager you get, either using code or the debugger, to make sure it actually contains the image(s) that you expect.
