c# and MS Visio

Hi,
A bit off topic, but still... I am writing a project in c# (MS .NET).
There is this nice featrure called 'Reverse Engineer' which allows me to
import all data about my c# classes to the visio project. Then I draw my
diagrams etc. Some time later I add something to my c# project and it seems
to me that there is no way I can import the new classes other than type them
manually?! Is this true, or I am doing sth wrong (if so, what?)

Thx,
Piotrek

If you are in Visio Enterprise Architect, which ships with VS .NET
Enterprise Architect, you can resync your Visio diagram. I do not have it on
this machine, so I can't give a step by step, but there should be some docs
on the MSDN site somewhere. I am not sure with other Visio versions.

You are using the wrong tool (No offense to Visio).

Take a look at Sparx Enterprise Architect. The round-trip model works very
nicely in that tool.

I used Rational Rose UML for quite some time. When I generated code it didn't clobber my code. Rose put little markers which stated here you can put your personal modifications and Rose will preserve them after regenerating code. VISIO seems not to put any markers into the code it generates and when I regenerate the code it clobbers whatever changes I made in the methods. Is this something than I can control, like a property to turn...

I would like to dynamically create a Visio diagram from .Net. I tried looking at the Visio SDK, but the samples are extremely convoluted for me to understand. Does someone have an example of creating a basic drawing with two shapes connected? I can then expand that example to include other elements. Also, my plan is for this project to be an ASP.Net website. Is Visio required to be on the web server in order to generate the Visio...

I'm writing a project that does Visio automation. I'm writing it in C+ +/CLI because it needs to reference a good amount of native C++ code. One way to call the Visio API, of course, is to use the COM interface provided in Visio SDK. However, a colleague of mine has been using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio in his VB.NET project, which is far more convenient than COM. I thought I could do the same in C++/CLI, but it didn't work....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
