UML

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi,

What available UML modelling tools (any license , the freer the better :D)
support .NET? I found some currently have bad support for C# like not being
able to handle sealed classes and so on.. Some are half assed
implementations and patchy support for the language with bad
synchronisation . Also I dont want vendor tie in on the file formats, XML
preferably so I can hope around tools later on. VS.NET has a modelling tool
for XML schemas, does it have one for UML and code engineer (forward
/backward / synchronization )? Visio?

Re: UML

Rational (now owned by IBM) have a version of Rose that supports .NET,
called Rational Rose XDE Developer

https://www.rational.com

I have tried the 2002 version and was not overly impressed. Maybe the 2003
version is out now, with improvements.

HTH

Re: UML

Rational XDE in my opinion rocks ...

See my review of Rational XDE in the .NET Developers Journal at:

http://www.sys-con.com/dotnet/article.cfm?id=400

It also hands down is better than any of the competition from Borland or
other UML tool vendors that I have seen ... who else generates an automatic
sequence diagram from a run of your software? which is awesome for debugging
purposes.

Re: UML

a few months ago I had a look at Enterprise Architect from

http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/

Generating class diagrams from C# worked well as far as I could tell
.... seemed very robust
also a lot cheaper than Rational's products.

Harvey Green
