Org Chart

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I am new to GoXam controls.
I am working on silverlight app and have to build a OrgChart when I came across your control and it was awesome. So I am evaluating before I can ask the company to buy it. Things see relatively simple, but I got stuck.
http://www.goxam.com/1.1/Silverlight3/GoSilverlightDemo.html
This is almost what I want, but when I drag the node to reassign parentNode it doesn't work as expected. What am I doing wrong? Also if that works can I intercept that event, because there are some validation that I need to take care of before it is reassigned? I would really appriciate it, if you could give me any help. I am sending the xaml,.cs and object , just to verify ..Let me know what am I doing wrong or it could be a silverlight thing that I am not aware off..
Thanks,
DIP

I can’t tell what you’re doing in your application.

But if you modify the OrgChartEditor sample by adding this custom dragging tool:

public class CustomDraggingTool : Northwoods.GoXam.Tool.DraggingTool { public override bool IsValidLink(Node fromnode, Node tonode, Link relink) { if (!base.IsValidLink(fromnode, tonode, relink)) return false; // only allow links from someone named "Soprano" -- i.e. only such people can be your new boss Employee fromnodedata = fromnode.Data as Employee; return (fromnodedata != null && fromnodedata.Name.Contains("Soprano")); } }
and then make use of it by replacing the standard Diagram.DraggingTool:

<go:Diagram . . .> <go:Diagram.DraggingTool> <local:CustomDraggingTool DropOntoEnabled="True" /> </go:Diagram.DraggingTool> </go:Diagram>
you’ll see that users are now restricted to reassigning bosses by dropping people only on people with “Soprano” in their name.
