Remarks
When a connector is added, it's not connected to anything. Use the BeginConnect and EndConnect methods to attach the beginning and end of a connector to other shapes in the document.
When you attach a connector to a shape, the size and position of the connector are automatically adjusted, if necessary. Therefore, if you’re going to attach a connector to other shapes, the position and dimensions you specify when adding the connector are irrelevant.
