How can I convert C++ text files (*.h *.cpp) to classes? It's possible?

It is not possible in the current version, but it will be very likely part of the version 5.

Two questions:

Will you also allow in .NET like C# (*.cs) and VB (*.vb) classes along with their methods from the source code?

From those, will you also be able to generate other diagrams like sequence (from what the methods call other methods themselves) and activity diagrams?

I'm very interested to see if you're able to do that with your next version. It would definitely be helpful to trace out threading issues

Source code processing of C# and VB will be supported.

It is still questionable whether the next version will be able to generate sequence and activity diagrams. In any case, I added it to my list of requirements.

Im guessing that the same is true for SQL2008 tables?

You can import your tables from database using menu Tools>Reverse Engineering>Database. MS SQL Server 2008 as source is supported.

Thanks for details, I will check it out.

EDIT: Version 4.80 solved this problem (at least for me).

This would be great if it actually worked, but it doesn't ?

I've probably the same issue. The assembly is .NET 2.0, but the "Import Object Model" window has only the root element of the tree. No namespaces or classes ale loaded. I find the problem is in Debug/Release compilation. The Release version loads only the namespace, Debug version loads nothing.

I will do some other tests and try to find out where is the problem. It will be fixed as soon as possible.

It doesn't work with .NET 4.0 assemblies, because of binary incompatibility of .NET 4.0 with previous versions of .NET. I will try to bring support for .NET 4.0 in the next major version of Software Ideas Modeler.

Do you know when .NET 4.0 assemblies will be supported? I'm using the last version and it doesn't work yet.
