I want to ask How can I generate UML Class Diagram for only one project in solution ? When I generate by click Architecture -> Generate Dependency Diagram, I get diagram of solution, I have 8 projects in solution, so diagram looks terible.
I programming in c# and use VS 2010 Ulimate
Can I generate diagram only for some classes ? for example for classes in one folder ?
I don't know this tool but did you try to drag and drop manually the class you want to display into an empty class diagram ? It usually works.
If you have an MSDN subscription, you can install the Visual Studio 2010 Feature Pack 2, so that you can do this: How to: Create UML Class Diagrams from Code.

I have a class library with few interfaces and the implementing classes categorized in different folders. I have generated the class diagrams of the interfaces in the project, but not able to see the relationships to the classes derived from these.
When i try to choose "Show Derived Interfaces" from the context menu of the interface, i get the below error:
Though in the same folder there are classes which are implemented from that interface.
Thanks in advance for any hint in finding the correct way.
Any hint on how to establish manual relationships between the interfaces and classes would also help. I have tried from the Toolbox -> Inheritance option, but not could not do it.
I am using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition
Correction: I am able to create the relationships manually (from the Toolbox -> Inheritance option) between classes and its base class type.The problem i see when i try to draw the relationship from the class to its base interface.
I can reproduce your issue:
I notice your metioned:
Though in the same folder there are classes which are implemented from
that interface.
But the feature 'Show Derived Interfaces' will not pass focus to the class, but to pass focus to the interface.
In my projects I actively use class diagrams (*.cd). I'd like to export my diagrams programmatically (e.g. during the build, or on my CI server) in order to use them on Wiki pages, etc.
I know that I can do it manually via "Export Diagram As Image" dialog
But the diagrams change rather often so I'm curious is there a way to do it programmatically (using any library, utility, etc)?

you can use method named GetObject to get the Diagram of the underlying implementation. This type has a method CreateBitmap. The following link provide a complete code sample for your reference.

Update:
The UML diagrams support are:
1.Class Diagram
2.UseCase Diagram
3.Sequence Diagram
4.Component Diagram
5.Activity Diagram
6.Layer Diagram
If I use:
Architecture -> Generate Dependency Graph -> By Class
it generates the graph for the entire solution.
Is there a way to cause VS to generate the dependency graph only for classes from a certain project?
I tried generating only for a certain project using Architecture Explorer -> Create a new graph document from all the selected nodes (with and without having ctrl pressed) but it only generates either classes with no connection between them or classes connected to namespaces.
Thanks for your help!
Try out Resharper 8 (http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/) it has lot's of features regarding dependency graphs.
unloading the projects that you don't want included appears to work in VS2012.
try in VS2010?
I'm new to entity framework. I've got EF 4.2, from NuGet. Now I'm hearing it would be good to get DbContext. I've got into the extension manager and tried finding it, but I see about 8 there. Which is the "righ" one? I don't know if this matters but I use both C# and VB.NET. Also, I don't know if this matters or not, but I'm using a data-first model, not a code-first or model-first models, for doing EF development.
On your EDMX design surface, right-click and pick Add Code-Generation Item:
Pick the ADO.NET DbContext Generator from the online gallery:
This adds two T4 template files (*.tt) in your solution explorer, and generates the DbContext and the entity classes for you:
And this is the resulting class derived from DbContext for your own project:
Is there an option in VS2010 Ultimate in UML tools to create class diagram which would indicate that this class is a template (with types and how many of them) in the way class template diagram according to UML 2.0 looks?
Yes. Sorry I can't post a functioning link here, but take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd409416.aspx#Templates
