Class/Interface generation in C#

[dotNEWBIE]

In VB .net I and my colleagues will often use abstract interfaces and VB's
'class wizard bars' at the top of the IDE for inheriting and generating a
number of new classes quickly. This feature does not appear to be available
in C#. Rather than using the xsd designers (or purchasing rational rose), is
their a recomended method of generating C# classes/interfaces that is of
similar (or even faster!) speed to vb .net?

What are you trying to generate the classes from? If you have XML, then XSD
is the appropriate tool. If you're creating classes for database access,
llblgen is a good choice.

If you're trying to have a wizard experience for adding classes, do this:
- Open the Class View (View|Class View on the main menu)
- Right-click on the project name, and select Add -> Class from the context
menu
- Follow the wizard

To add classes, methods, etc.:
- Open the Class View (View|Class View on the main menu)
- Right-click on the class name, and select Add-> {thing you want to add}
- Follow the wizard
