question about reverse engineering .NET project
« on: July 19, 2005, 12:56:44 pm »
Hello,

I just purchased EA 5.00.768 and have reverse engineered a large, .NET project for one of my clients (I'm a software engineering consultant).  

The resulting diagrams look great, with one exception.  The only relationships shown in the diagrams are the “has a” relationship.  For example, if Class A has a member variable of type Class B, the relationship is shown in the diagram.  However, where are the “uses in its implementation” relationships?  For example, if within Class A’s public method Foo(), suppose there’s a non-member variable reference within Foo() to Class C.  On the diagram, this relationship does not seem to appear.    To me, those are just as important.  Is there a way to automatically add such relationships into the generated diagrams?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

- Serge

No, EA doesn't currently look inside method bodies, so if you want those connections then you'll need to add them manually.
