In the first article, Saul shows how to use the Page.Dropconnected method to add a shape to the page, and connect it to an existing shape at the same time:

The second article explores how to use the Page.LayoutChangeDirection to programmatically rotate or flip sets of connected shapes:

We covered one of those methods in a blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visio/archive/2009/09/22/the-visio-2010-connectivity-api.aspx , but the posts above provide more detail and examples. See this article for a http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visio/archive/2010/06/24/sdk-documentation-available-online.aspx
Look for more posts from Saul on Visio 2010 programmability, and other great Office developer topics on the http://blogs.msdn.com/b/officedevdocs/ blog.
