UML and .NET Framework / vb.NET

[rescobar]

Do somebody know a good source (books, articles) to learn vb.NET design and modeling via UML?
I´d like to learn in a practical way applying UML modeling and desing to study cases.
Thanks a lot for your kind help

Hi Sergio,

I am using EA and VB.NET/SQL Server to develop an application. But regretly I could not find any book about VB.NET using UML.

What i am doing just using previous vb6 experience, combining with new .Net feature(.net has much more different from visusal 6 version). From EA model, I can get the class definition source code, DDL data definition source and coding logic from some dynamic view diagram.

Hopefully it helps.

Robert

Thank you, Robert. I'm importing classes to my EA model from the VB.NET project. In general, I'm not sure about framework classes inheritance in my classes, sequence diagrams, etc. For example, I instanciate a DataAdapter in the webservice in order to get the data using da.Fill method, but I don´t find in any class reversed these method. Obviously, I'm new in using UML in VB. I will wait for a good book in this matter. I read (a year ago) Doing Objects in VB (Deborah Kurata). Interesting book but I think it is oriented in VB6. As VB.NET has a different structure, I can't find a proper way to use UML.
Thanks again and if you get some book, article or whatever documentation please let me know (sorry, my english is not so good as i wish).
Regards
Sergio

I was looking for the same book and came up with WROX 1861007957
It gets 5/5 stars at Amazon...May be worth a look...

I had previously read a book by Jake Stern at Wrox on VB6 and the UML it was very good.

It's not much its a start - look on my website for a PPT ion mapping class diagrams to C# and VB.NET, as well as a PPT introducing the core UML concepts you need to adopt a user-centric approach to development.

Hi Gang,

The bookn you are looking for is by Enricos Manaassis Addison Wesley titled "Practical Software Engineering: Analysis and Design for The .NET Platform:
ISBN0-321-13619-5". It is a great process to follow and the code samples are vary good. It's written in C# but can easly be translated to VB.NET. I'm using it as a basis for the project I'm working on.

Must agree that is an amazing book and put's a lot of Jim Connalen's work to practice :]
