Hi there,

Anyone know of a Smalltalk-style class browser for Visual Studio?

I hate no being able to:
1) View class hierarchies for easy refactoring
2) Browse Implementors or Senders of messages
3) Quickly, and visually get an idea of the layout of an application

If anyone knows of any tools or tweaks for VS to help with these, I would love to hear them!

Thanks a ton!

Chris

I think all of what you are looking for is already in VS.

1) View -> Class View (there's also a "Object Browser")
2) ? Maybe the class browser view has what you are looking for
3) Add a class diagram to your project and it will give you a UML style diagram.

Hey Peter,

Thanks for the response. The problem with Class View is it is upside-down. I need something that allows me look at all of the subclasses of a given class.

Is the Class Browser View a different entity? I could not find it...

I had a diagram in my solution, but it comes in empty. Is there a way to auto-populate or reverse engineer it? If I do the drawing myself, I might as well, just tape my object model to a monitor and reference that.

Thanks again for any input!

Chris

Hi again,

I just played a bit with the Class Diagram and Designer. Although not exactly what I was looking for, it definitely gets me 80% of the way there.

Thanks, again, Peter!
