C# & UML

I strongly suggest ModelMaker. Formerly only available to Delphi users, now the lowly C# developer has some ALM and refactoring power. It's a fantastic price, too. Unfortunately, you don't have the roundtrip functionality for C# that you do in Delphi, but it is very capable when it comes to creating UML diagrams from existing code as well as editing existing diagrams. You'll find that the explorer plugin also helps your development in a huge way. http://www.modelmakertools.com/ May I recommend that you NOT spend money on Visio. I don't understand why anyone would. It has no affilliation with the code that its diagrams represent, and is not terribly user friendly anyway. Above all, it costs too much. I wish I had some more insight on this matter, and hope others offer feedback as well! If you're in the market for an enterprise IDE, Borland's Delphi 2005 (which is also a C# IDE) has one of the coolest tools for all this stuff called ECO II. I think you'd be amazed with it. They have a trial version. http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_delphi.html
