C# Options - User

If you intend to generate C# code from your model, you can configure the code generation options using the C# Specifications page of the Options dialog to:

·Specify a directory for opening and saving C# source code
·Indicate additional Collection Classes - to define custom collection classes, which can be simple substitutions (such as CArray<#TYPE#>) or a mix of other strings and substitutions (such as Cmap<CString,LPCTSTR,#TYPE#*,#TYPE#*>); the following collection classes are defined by default:
·List<#TYPE#>;Stack<#TYPE#>;Queue<#TYPE#>;
