I think you are asking about a painting application, but you mean a diagramming application.

The design and implementation of one of those is way beyond the "Quick Answers" forum. I would start with the CodeProject search, for articles like:

200% Reflective Class Diagram Creation Tool[^]

PlantUML Editor: A Fast and Simple UML Editor using WPF[^]

MVVM Diagram Designer[^]

Just to name a few. Get the concepts, pull pieces you need, and start putting them together.

Thanks for tour reply
but I want end user can create business diagram not developer

Its all the same concepts, you want to create a diagramming program, the links I posted have diagramming programs, you just need to change/modify them or pick out the pieces you need and add others that give different diagram shapes.

I think you did not know what I mean,I want to create diagramming by end user I do not want to crate diagramming by developer

Ron Beyer 22-Jan-14 1:26am

Yes, I know what you mean, and just because the articles I linked are for developers, you should read them, it outlines how to create a diagramming tool. You should be able to modify them to create end-user diagrams (they are just different symbols after all).

I know that it is easy by rational rose and many other app , But I need it in enduser side ,and because of it I asked it here

Ron Beyer 22-Jan-14 1:33am

I don't think I can explain it any other way, these are end-user apps, you would just have to change the symbols to be specific to what you need it to do. The only reason they are developer apps is because they use developer symbols, if you put other symbols in it, it can be for other types of users...

oh I will try it;)

Thanks Ron
the third link(MVVM)Is fine for my goal, is it possible that I can create it in Silverlight?

Ron Beyer 22-Jan-14 9:28am

You will have to ask the author. There is a place at the bottom of the article to ask questions, that author is very active and should respond quickly.
