C# - Extracting data from EA model

[AugChin]

Hello, I am newbie in this topic. I am trying to programmatically extract information like class name, function name and their dependency from Enterprise Architect Model and saved it in a file (e.g. Compare.xml). I know that in C# I need to import Interop.EA to have access to everything EA store and also to the diagrams that are generated. In parallel I am trying to parse my source code(C, C #, C or Java) to retrieve the class name, function name and their dependency and save then in the same file (e.g.  Compare.xml).
My goal is to implement a code analyzer. The main task is to check if the architecture models components are implementing in the source code (C, C #, C or Java) at the end a reports will be generated in doc, XML or any other format (e.g. Compare.xml). In this report I will just need to compare if class name, function name and their dependency are similar.
Please I will like to know if there is a tools available who can perform this task.

Thank you

Hi,

It's definitely possible to do what you need using the API, but I don't think there is a readily available tool that already does something like that.
I suggest you start reading here:http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/8.0/automation_and_scripts/automation_interface.html
Then look at the examples in the C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\Code Samples\C#_Sample directory
And have a look at the addins available from the community site

Hello Geert ,
Thank you for your answer.
I have a look on this example but I have one problem,I'm not able to get access to operation.
I am able to get the Model and Component name.  how can I get the Operation name(the name of my functions)?

EA.Element.Methods contains a collection of all owned operations (EA.Method). The EA.Method.Name property contains the name of the operation.

Hello Geert ,
Happy New Year 2011.
I will like to know if there is a method that can help to get the EA  Dependency properties. My goal is to retrieve programmatically the interface dependency between components.
Thank you.

Element.Connectors should give you all relations between your element and other things.
Loop that and filter out the required type of relation.
