All, what do you use for modeling your OO functionality and such?

Frans, since you use ORM for your backend modeling, I'm curious to know if you do any type of diagraming for your object classes. If you do, what do you use? Terry's ORM is fantastic, so I'm hoping you use something that is equally as slick for OO diagraming of your functionality code.

I have been using Enterprise Architect by Sparx combined with the Agile ICONIX development process and it seems to go very well. Code gets done quickly, and the customer typically gets what they want the first time.

Also, the code and models typically stay in sync as well because the release cycles are very small.

I don't use diagramming, mostly because I've never learned UML. If I have to draw a model from classes, I mainly use ORM, also for classes.

Interesting. I could see that working. I would love to see your ORM diagram for LLBLGen, but I'm dreaming out loud.

It's not there .

I'm not that visual oriented, only diagrams on paper if I can't see it in front of me. Though if you want to see the class model, just create it in vs.net 2005 by clicking a button
