hello everybody,
I have a query related to Microsoft Visio 2000 file format. This format has not been published by Microsoft.
I want to convert the VISIO 2000 file format to PHOTOSHOP 5.5 file format and vice-versa. How can this be achieved?

Converting from a raster format to a vector format is very hard. In the raster format you loose all information about lines, text, rectangles, circles, arrows etc. The only information you have is what color a given pixel is. The easy way to solve this problem is to get an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program that knows about the Visio format. Doing this with your own code would be very hard.
To convert from Visio files to raster format, you can for example save in Visio as Gif, Bmp etc. To do this programmatically, you can automate Visio as you would automate word. Check here in MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28000456)
