How can I copy/paste Diagram nodes?

The following code sample demonstrates how you can copy and paste nodes (symbol, shape, or link) in Essential Diagram:

[C#]

// Copy Code
this.diagram1.Controller.Copy();
// Paste Code
// If the data in the clipboard is of the type ClipboardNodeCollection
// paste it onto the Diagram
IDataObject clipboardData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
if (clipboardData.GetDataPresent(typeof(ClipboardNodeCollection))) {
    this.diagram1.Controller.Paste();
}

[VB.NET]

' Copy Code
Me.diagram1.Controller.Copy()
' Paste Code
' If the data in the clipboard is of the type ClipboardNodeCollection
' paste it onto the Diagram
Dim clipboardData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
If clipboardData.GetDataPresent(Type.GetType(ClipboardNodeCollection)) Then
    Me.diagram1.Controller.Paste()
End If
