After many years of searching, I've finally found a way to take information from a running Visual Studio project, and create a sequence diagram in EA from it.
The source data is pulled from VS by a little tool called Runtime Flow, which creates an XML file of the execution, which I then parse to create an SD inside EA. This isn't a completed product, but if you're already using Visual Studio then the code is very straightforward, and it gives a reasonable picture of what's happening inside your code.
If anyone would like a copy of the source, please contact me at [email protected], and I'll send it to you. We might even make some improvements together!

Didn't that exist already?
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsSGDggjtWs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsSGDggjtWs) and fast forward to 16:29
How is your solution different?

PS. Also a very useful video for those that suffer from insomnia ;D

This is another example of where if only I did EVERYTHING in EA, then all would be well.
But I don't want to add all my code into EA, then use EA as my dev environment and debugger - I have Visual Studio (and all the other VS tools and addins) for that.
That's why I need a solution which lets me develop in a development tool, but model in a modelling tool.

Revolutionary! ;D
