Visual Basic 2005 Classes

PowerDesigner models Visual Basic 2005 classes as standard UML classes, but with additional properties.

For information about creating and working with classes, see Classes (OOM).

The following specific classes are also supported in PowerDesigner:

End Class

NotInheritable class is equivalent to a final class. To design this type of class, you need to create a class and select the Final check box in the General tab of the class property sheet.

End Class
