… that is the question!
I have known for some time that it is safer to copy and paste code from the web into Notepad or similar, before copying and pasting that into my own code. It is not only new line characters that can be different but also the double-quotes. I recently noticed this when I was writing my series on Visio ShapeSheet Functions A-Z because I make copious use of the EVALTEXT(…) function, so I investigated further and found that there are different double-quotes used when typing text into a Visio shape or typing into a Visio ShapeSheet cell!
My good friend and fellow Visio MVP, Šenaj Lelić, and I recently recorded a long webcast where we flew through some of the great capabilities of Visio through a Teams meeting.
Microsoft Visio: Find out more about how you can work visually from anywhere, at anytime
This event will help you find out more about how Microsoft Visio can help you plan better, save time and communicate more effectively. This webinar will help you visually plan and communicate solutions such as: Process documentation, Facilities management, Covid “Back to Work” scenarios, and IT pro tasks. We will demonstrate how Visio can help you visualise and streamline your communication and showcase how it integrates into your broader Microsoft estate.
Developing a Visio solution usually involves both .Net code and Visio ShapeSheet formulas. Good practice dictates that the source code is saved into a code repository, such as Git, where changes can be committed and commented. Visual Studio 2019 now includes native Git support, and can be linked to Azure DevOps easily. The code can be viewed by others and the changes made by commits can be reviewed. This is tried and tested for the .Net code, but any changes made to a Visio template, stencil or drawing document is a black box. If the Visio document is included in the Git project, then all that is visible is the fact that the file has been changed, but the detail of the actual changes are unknown. There may be some comments with the commit, but that is not a precise definition. So, what if there was a way to easily spot the changes?
