Partial Classes

[bjones]

Don't know if we're doing it right, but reverse engineering partial classes (the class definition is spread across a couple files) doesn't quite work.  It creates a more than one object for the class.

This may, in part, be because you can only associated one file per object for code synchronization purposes.

Could the reverse engineer process add a <<Designer>> stereotype to the class generated from the Class.Designer.cs code? This would make it easier to identify the part of the class that the programmer is allowed to change.

Good morning,

I just got my hands on EA for evaluation.. One of the first problems I ran into was how partial classes are (not) supported. First, I thought there was a serious bug during the reverse engineering process... where multiple model entities would be created for a single class. Took me awhile to find the cause.

Still waiting for the first response from the support team.. but maybe someone else knows. Is this something that is being worked on?  It's a small fire in my book. Causes much confusion and adding stereotypes are good from a designer standpoint, but can easily lose sync with the code base.

Best regards,

This is going to start being a serious problem for me, at least as far as generation (both directions) is concerned. Perhaps the Sparxians could chime in on this.
