Hi,

I am able to draw a shape with an outline and text but no fill as follows:

new DiagramNode(){

Name = "SAMPLE";
Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Aqua) {Opacity = 0};
Stroke = Brushes.HotPink;
StrokeThickness = 1;
NodeType = NodeType.Circle;
Height = 60;
Width = 60;
Content = "Sample";
Position = new Point(50, 50);
FontBrush = Brushes.DarkGreen;
}

This works fine (draws as expected). However when I try to serialize and then deserialize it using the following code:

public void SerializeToXml()
{
   using (var stream = PersistenceManager.Save(Diagram))
   {
      using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\test.xml", FileMode.Create))
      {
         fileStream.Write(stream.ToArray(), 0, (int)stream.Length);
      }
   }
}

public void DeserializeFromXml()
{
   using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\test.xml", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
   {
      PersistenceManager.Load(Diagram, fileStream);
   }
}

the shape comes back filled Green rather than clear.

How can I create a clear DiagramNode that will serialize and deserialize correctly?

Regards

David
