Load a VSS Template to Create a Visio Diagram

// create a new diagram
var diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "template.vss");
// add a new rectangle shape
long shapeId = diagram.AddShape(4.25, 5.5, 2, 1, @"Rectangle", 0);
var shape = diagram.Pages[0].Shapes.GetShape(shapeId);
shape.Text.Value.Add(new Txt(@"Rectangle text."));
// add a new hexagon shape
shapeId = diagram.AddShape(7.0, 5.5, 2, 2, @"Hexagon", 0);
shape = diagram.Pages[0].Shapes.GetShape(shapeId);
shape.Text.Value.Add(new Txt(@"Hexagon text."));
// save the diagram in VDX format
diagram.Save(dir + "output.vdx", SaveFileFormat.VDX);

Retrieve Layers of a Visio VSDX Diagram

// load source Visio diagram
var diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "Drawing1.vsdx");
// get diagram page
var page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-1");
// iterate through the layers and print properties
foreach (Layer layer in page.PageSheet.Layers)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + layer.Name.Value);
    Console.WriteLine("Visibility: " + layer.Visible.Value);
    Console.WriteLine("Status: " + layer.Status.Value);
