Visual Studio Modeling Feature Pack Available!

Visual Studio Modeling Feature Pack Available!

Brian Harry just post about Visual Studio Modeling Feature Pack Available!

Here is a glimpse of the new features in the Pack,

C++ Support

As you may know, in VS 2010, there’s no support for C++ in our modeling tools.  This feature pack includes the first installment of C++ support.  It’s not complete but it’s a beginning. 

Web Site Support

We’ve added support for the architectural tools to really understand the structure of web sites and the artifacts contained in them.  It now understands ASP.NET MVC, various web resources, etc. making it way easier to get a high level view of the structure and dependencies in your web app.

UML Class Diagram Code Generation

In VS 2010, we did not include any capability to generate code from diagrams.  With the feature pack, we can now generate code from class diagrams.

Layer Diagram Validation Extensibility

One of my favorite features in VS 2010 is layer diagrams and the ability to enforce that my code corresponds to my layer architecture as part of the build.

Links from Work Items to Models

In VS 2010, we added the ability to create links from models to work items, however, we didn’t have a way to link from work items back to model elements.
