Professional UML with Visual Studio .NET

Meer over het boek

This book is designed for those looking to leverage Visio in creating enterprise software. It highlights the powerful integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects, which offers robust diagramming capabilities such as UML modeling, Entity Relationship diagrams for database mapping, and support for distributed system development. The synergy between Visio and Visual Studio .NET allows for code generation in C# or Visual Basic .NET from UML diagrams, and enables reverse engineering of Visual Studio .NET projects into UML models. Targeting developers already familiar with UML, the book addresses the lack of comprehensive documentation on effectively utilizing the Visio and Visual Studio .NET combination. It assumes a basic understanding of UML notation and focuses on maximizing the software-related features of Visio. Key topics include diagramming business components, generating code from UML models, reverse engineering Visual Studio .NET projects, documenting projects with UML and Visio, designing distributed applications, and working with Entity Relationship database modeling and round-trip engineering for database design. This resource aims to enhance your efficiency and effectiveness in software development using Visio.
