Chapter 19 Working with C#


Project

You can reverse engineer C# projects when you select C# projects from the Reverse Engineer list in the Reverse Engineer C# dialog box.

Make sure you reverse engineer each project into a separate model.

Assembly properties are reverse engineered as follow:

C# assembly properties PowerDesigner equivalent
Title Name of the model
Description Description of the model
Configuration AssemblyConfiguration extended attribute
Company AssemblyCompany extended attribute
Copyright AssemblyCopyright extended attribute
Product AssemblyProduct extended attribute
Trademark AssemblyTrademark extended attribute
Version AssemblyVersion extended attribute
Culture AssemblyCulture extended attribute
AssemblyVersionAttribute

System.CLSCompliant

AssemblyFlagsAttribute
Stored in CustomAttributes extended attribute

Project properties are reverse engineered as extended attributes whether they have a value or not. For example, the default HTML page layout is saved in extended attribute DefaultHTMLPageLayout.

You can use the Ellipsis button in the Value column to modify the extended attribute value, however you should be very cautious when performing such changes as they may jeopardize model generation.
