Solution 1

Basically, you can use System.Drawing.Bitmap to render graphics on the server side and deliver it in HTTP response back to the user via a file and an anchor element, of directly on the fly, without storing a file anywhere on a disk.

Please see my past answer for more detail: Graphical Outputs on Web page[^].

But I don't want to view it as a bitmap image rather I need to show a switch as a rectangular object with interfaces shown as small rectangles on it. User can click on the entire switch or its interfaces individually and all the objects need to be created at run time once the network is discovered.

Do you know what a bitmap is? You rectangles and other elements are nothing but bitmaps. Clicks are handled as usual.

Thanks for correcting...I have seen the links u told and tried using bitmap image. What I am getting is one complete image on which click event can be done. But I want to separately click individual rectangles placed on the main rectangle.Also how to handle click event on separate rectangular structure in asp.net.If you do have any link through which I can get some help kindly tell me.

That makes sense. It all depends on how much of interactive behavior would you really need. Please see the comment by kuttikrishnan. This would be a reasonable alternative, if, say, your main interactive function would be moving elements on screen, or something like that. But for complex interactive behavior, flash could be more appropriate...

You are welcome. Like the way you deeply explained with links also.

Better option is to go with JQuery ,you can dynamically draw divs in your page

Maybe, but OP did not mention interactive behavior requirements, and it would require absolute positioning... anyway, why wouldn't you post an alternative answer? Certainly, with those bitmaps and never-ending postbacks interactive behavior would be a nightmare, I did not mean such requirements...
