How to EASY import binaries from MS Framwork
« on: April 19, 2011, 11:12:43 pm »
On the risk that this was asked already100 times:

is there an easy way to do a binary import of all the microsoft framework classes and structures from all required dirs and subdirs, all the .dll's of a given project. i..e mscorlib.dll beeing one of it?

OR

is there an easy way to import the all the ./framework/ and subdirs dll's from Microsoft to get all the classes and structures into the modell DB. This in order to just drag and drop missing classes onto the diagram space reverese engineerd, this  to round up the diagrams once a given project VB.NET or C# has been sorce code imported?

OR

does a SPARX Model DB exist which we can reference by or import into our own modell project with all framwork classes / strctures / generalisation and realisations already pre-imported / linked from this huge amount of Micrsoft Framework and Sub-Dir binaries kept in DLL's?

It would help to have an more asy launch once the time is come to start with reverse engineering

Hi'ya

You really should be reading a little form the help manual...  see code engineering !

Import a source directory is a click and dialog away... it only deals with one language at a time tho.

Importing a binary module is easy, but might be time consuming; not just in the reverse engineering, but also because EA does not provide the ablity to recurse a directory structure.

Personnally I just love the idea of a cummunity maintained model repository...  perhaps it could be extended to the Java Library... mounted in the cloud ( I'll have a word with my boss he's cloud crazy at the moment).

Hi Kevin,

Thank you, it was an oversight at my part, I can in fact select more then one dll, exe
