Currently the permitted types are as follows:
Enterprise Architect creates the necessary Packages and diagrams during the import process; selecting the Do not import private members checkbox excludes private members from libraries from being imported into the model. When importing .Net files, you can import via reflection or via disassembly, or let the system select the best method - this might result in both types being used. The reflection-based importer relies on a .Net program, and requires the .Net runtime environment to be installed. The disassembler-based importer relies on a native Windows program called Ildasm.exe, which is a tool provided with the MS .Net SDK; the SDK can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. A choice of import methods is available because some files are not compatible with reflection (such as mscorlib.dll) and can only be opened using the disassembler; however, the reflection-based importer is generally much faster.
