About the Book

Visio is a diagramming tool that allows you to create drawings and document processes, systems, and applications using Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams. You can generate the .NET skeleton code for an application from the UML diagram of that application. This book describes how Microsoft Visio can be integrated with Visual Studio .Net 2003 to create enterprise level applications. The book explores the features of Microsoft Visio, such as Unified Modelling Language (UML), Database Modelling, and Object Role Modelling (ORM). This book also explores how the Microsoft Visio ActiveX control can be embedded with .Net applications to provide Visio drawing capabilities.
