IBM® Rational® Modeling Extension for Microsoft® .NET is a C# and CTS modeling extension for the Rational UML modeling products. This family of design and development products is built on the open-source Eclipse framework. The Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET software includes plug-ins that enable software architects and model-driven developers to visualize C# applications and CTS types and to create well-architected C# code using the Unified Modeling Language (UML 2).
With Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET, you can perform the following tasks:
- Visualize C# applications
- Use browse diagrams for architectural discovery and dependency analysis.
- Use class diagrams to document application structure.
- Use sequence diagrams to document as-implemented and what-if class interactions.
- Depict .NET types within diagrams in UML models as part of the "mixed modeling" theory of operations.
- Transform UML models into C# code.
- Transform changes in the C# code into the UML model.
- Import .NET solutions from Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
