Hello! Very new to UML and system design. We're at the stage of doing a class diagram in the design phase and are struggling to figure out how to implement a requirement. Here's the problem: We have a Person class that is composed of a Name class and a ContactDetails class. Contact details class is composed of a MobileNumber and an E...
i have a list of applications, services and databases in a text file. the list includes which applications are consumers of which services and which services use which databases. I would like to know if there is a tool that can take this data and generate an architecture diagram. i would like to output to be dynamic so when the text fi...
I need to be able to generate dependency diagrams programmatically. I'd like it to be able to generate a bunch of boxes with labels and connectors linking them, and ideally the component would position them automatically onto a design surface which could then be manually rearranged. I'm using Winforms and C# 2.0 (VS2005). EDIT: Howeve...
I'd be interested to know what techniques people use to diagram initial process flow when in the initial design phases of a fairly complicated web application? To be clear I am talking about the route through a process from the users perspective, and how that route branches based on decisions and conditions. I'm not trying to model und...
I'm trying to find a tool which I can input information in for supporting end customers with queries. I often find our department is posed the same questions and the same solutions can be provided. I.e. can't connect to the internet application - first reboot, then can you connect to the internet, if you can, can you connect to the appli...
I want to design an associate silverlight diagraming surface where you can type in boxes, and then drag these boxes around and link them up to other boxes using lines, arrows. My first problem is what is the first step to take to go about this approach? I am looking for something like a mindmap or visio diagram. Thanks, Eric ...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had access to source code that would allow me to draw lines between objects. I have examples of the standard one line between 2 objects. What I'm looking for is an example of how to draw a branching line. I.e. Starts as a line coming from an object and then branches out to other objects. I don't want to dr...
Hi I've never read COBOL in my life and have been tasked with rewriting the old COBOL code in a new language. Are there any free or free-to-try software packages out there that will generate a flow chart for a COBOL program? I've looked at "Visustin" and "Code Visual to Flowchart" Visustin blanks out part of the code and does random r...
Diagram.net is good diagramming tool. I need to understand what design patterns are used by this tool so that I can understand how it works. What design patterns are used in this tool? What design patterns are generally used for diagramming tools? I would also like to know how can I use this to develop very simple diagramming tool (...

This question came up today and I couldn't find any historical answer as to why a database is always represented as a cylinder. I am hoping someone in the stack world would know why and have a link or something backing it up. ...
I'm looking for a diagramming software that would produce good looking output. It doesn't need to support everything (or even much) from UML, is doesn't need to have code engineering functions or anything, it just needs to produce visually interesting output. Here is a couple of samples of products that I consider ugly / not good enough...
I am considering solutions for drawing diagrams using Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Up until now I have found only the gwt-diagrams project but it seems abandoned. Are there any suggestions about diagramming with GWT? ...
I am new to UML diagramming, but I'm trying to learn the ropes. Using a tool such as Visio or AgroUML how would you represent a .NET Datatype in your diagram? Two examples that I would like to do: DataTable List<MyObject> The only method I see right now is creating a class that represents a datatable. As far as representing collect...
Hello, In json.org website you can see several diagrams (which I don't know that correct term to describe) that shows the whole valid syntax of the language. For example http://json.org/object.gif How do these diagrams called? What software do you use to create them? Thank you, Maxim. ...

In my specific case (C# WPF app) I have a application that has: a UI project & some class libraries (util classes broken out for reuse) classes within (both UI and class library) but also ...
Hi everybody, I'm trying to apply the MVVM design pattern to a diagramming application. In this application there are different items (for example a rectangle, a circle,...). I would like to save the item type as an enum in my model. In my modelview I made a class for every item type (rectangleViewMode, circleViewMode,...). On my view...
