VS.NET: Integrated UML Tools?

[James T Johnson]

With Beta 1/2 there were some UML tools distributed with it; but then MS acquired Visio so that was put in its place. AFAIK Visio didn't integrate with the IDE like the previous UML product. James

MS Visio is integrated with VS.NET. But I am afraid that happens only in the Enterprise Architect version. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

I have the Architect version, there is no integration. Visio is launched as a separate program - there is not Visio tab in the VS.NET Toolbox. This is similar to the support in VS 6.0. I have Visio Prof and was using it with VS 6.0 before buying VS.NET Architect version, and there is no difference. Best regards, Paul.

Yes you are right. I misunderstood what you meant by integration. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

Have a look at Rational's XDE. Cheers, Simon "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.", Eric S. Raymond

With the $3,595 price tag, I will keep my visio :(( Best regards, Paul. Paul Selormey, Bsc (Elect Eng), MSc (Mobile Communication) is currently Windows open source developer in Japan.

I haven't read that book, but Rational XDE (.NET edition) integrated with VS.NET. Highly recommended. /Jonas Eklöf

Yes, but with the $3,595 price tag, it is more expensive than the VS.NET itself :(( Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.
