C# reverse engineer and using alias

[Yves]

When I use the reverse engineer functionality for a source containing and C# using clause with alias

using MyAlias = MyNamespace.SubNamespace;

the alias is not translated during the reverse operation and my class is mapped to the MyAlias namespace and not MyNamespace.SubNamespace namespace

 :-?

any idea ?

Hi Yves,

I'm not sure how to do this. My guess is that there might be a tagged value or a stereotype involved.

I suggest you whip up a short piece of code in C# that includes a using clause with an alias, just as you describe. Then reverse it into EA. Take a look at what results, and remember to check the tagged values window. You can also export the resulting package and compare the XMI to an export of a package without the alias.

Please let us know what you find.

EA currently doesn't do anything with C# namespace aliases.  Up until now the only problem this has caused was with EA not being able to link correctly.

You can send a report directly to Sparx Systems, but I don't have any workaround at the moment.

Yves,

Why not make a feature request as well. Click the Feature Request link below the Support link near the bottom of any forum page, and fill out the form.

I think this would be an excellent enhancement for EA.
