.Net UML VIEWER


Abstract

The Microsoft .Net Framework is a new platform that gives the Windows developers a simplified and unified way to access the Windows resources. One of the important features of the .Net is the .Net Reflection, which allow the programmers to perform the type discovery, late binding and reflection emit at runtime. The objective this thesis is to develop a tool that can help the .Net developers to deal with the complexity of the .Net assembly by showing the object models in the UML notations. The result of this thesis is the .Net UML Viewer, whose implementation heavily depends on the .Net Reflection. The users of the .Net UML Viewer can view the internal structure of a .Net assembly and the UML class diagrams simply by navigating around the model by clicking on classes in the UML notation. They can navigate between various associated classes even if the classes are not defined in the assembly
