Adding Windows Application Support

PowerDesigner provides support for Windows applications through an extended model definition.

  1. Verify that the current model has the target language C# 2.0 or Visual Basic 2005, and includes an extended model definition for either ADO.NET or Nhibernate.
  2. Select Model > Extended Model Definitions, and click the Import tool.
  3. Click the User Interface sub-tab, select the Windows Application xem, and click OK to attach it to your model.
  4. Click OK to close the List of Extended Model Definitions and return to your model.
Note:

You can also attach an XEM at model creation time by clicking the Select Extensions button on the New Model dialog.
