Microsoft Visio and Visual Studio

person

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is currently using Microsoft Visio in order to reverse engineer your solution so that a class diagram will result.
I use visio with my MySQL database schema etc and its works perfectly.

It would save me many hours if this is possible.

Thanks greatly in advance

Person.

So it doesnt add all the realtionships, the method names and parameters etc to this 'icons' in the Visio screen?
Thats the main problem, I dont care about getting all the classes in, thats fine......the time demanding part is the realtionships and content of each.

Thanks,

You can reverse engineer an entire solution or a selected project within a solution. The selections you make in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer determine what is reverse engineered to the Visio UML.

In the Visual Studio environment, reverse engineering is activated from a command on the Project menu. Information from the code model is extracted, Visio is launched, and reverse-engineered elements of your code appear as icons in the tree view (tree view: Displayed in a window in the UML Navigator, a hierarchy in which each UML element or view (diagram) is represented by an icon. The UML template automatically creates a tree view of your model.) of the Visio UML Model Explorer. You can then drag UML class shapes that reflect class definitions in the source code onto a drawing page to visualize the architecture of the new or legacy solution.
