I have a C # solution in Visual Studio 2017. It is a solution with several child projects, at least 6, and within these projects there is a hierarchy of folders and subfolders and classes. I need a free and preferably open source program so that I can generate the class diagram of every solution from the source code already deployed. I know there is a native Visual Studio solution that makes this code transformation into diagrams, but in this case, the generated format is a .cd, which I could not import into Visual Paradigm. Also, the generated diagram is for projects only, individually and I need a way to generate it for the entire solution. Do you have any suggestions?

  • Maybe have a look at doxygen, it can generate uml diagrams for a project as part of its documentation. – albert Jul 24 '19 at 16:17
  • Is there one that focuses only on generating the class diagram? This software I used but could not diagnose my architecture. If I don't point to the folder where the classes are, it just does nothing and brings me a blank document. Already the native of Visual studio can already, however the format it generates was not recognized by Visual Paradigm. If there was a way to export this Visual Studio native to a different format, like an .xml, that would be a big help. – Leonardo Silva Jul 24 '19 at 19:56
  • I don't understand your comment about e.g. the blank documents. With some settings you can get already som documentation from doxygen. generate a base Doxyfile (doxygen -g in the main source directory) and have in this file a look at (a.o.) EXTRACT_..., HAVE_DOT, CLASS_... – albert Jul 25 '19 at 8:23
