C# Extension for StarUML 3+

This extension for StarUML(http://staruml.io) support to generate C# code from UML model. Install this extension from Extension Manager of StarUML. It is based on C# 6.0 specification.

C# Code Generation

1. Click the menu (Tools > C# > Generate Code...)
2. Select a base model (or package) that will be generated to C#.
3. Select a folder where generated C# source files will be placed.

Below are the rules to convert from UML model elements to C# source codes.

UMLPackage

• converted to C# namespace (as a folder).

UMLClass

• converted to partial C# Class. (as a separate .designer.cs file)
• visibility to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• isAbstract property to abstract modifier.
• isFinalSpecialization and isLeaf property to sealed modifier.
• All contained types (UMLClass, UMLInterface, UMLEnumeration) are generated as inner type definition.
• Documentation property to C# XML comment as a <summary>.
• Annotation Type is converted to C# attribute class which extends System.Attribute and postfix of class is Attribute. (cf. class testAttribute:System.Attribute)

UMLAttribute

• converted to C# Property, unless a stereotype <<field>> is specified.
• visibility property to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• name property to property identifier.
• type property to property type.
• if multiplicity is [0..1], nullable type is used, where applicable.
• if multiplicity is one of 0..*, 1..*, *, then configurable collection type for ordered or unordered collection is used.
• if multiplicity is exact number > 1, array type [] is used.
• isStatic property to static modifier.
• isLeaf property to sealed modifier.
• isDerived property to an expression-bodied read-only property.
• defaultValue property as a body for derived properties and initial value for others.
• Documentation property to C# XML comment as a <summary>.

UMLOperation

• converted to C# Methods.
• visibility property to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• name property to method identifier.
• isAbstract property to abstract modifier.
• isStatic property to static modifier.
• UMLParameter to C# Method Parameters.
• UMLParameter's name property to parameter identifier.
• UMLParameter's type property to type of parameter.
• UMLParameter with direction = return to return type of method. When no return parameter, void is used.
• UMLParameter with isReadOnly = true to sealed modifier of parameter.
• Documentation property to C# XML comment as a <summary>.

UMLInterface

• converted to C# Interface. (as a separate .cs file)
• visibility property to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• Documentation property to C# XML comment as a <summary>.

UMLEnumeration

• converted to C# enum. (as a separate .cs file)
• visibility property to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• UMLEnumerationLiteral to literals of enum.

UMLAssociationEnd

• converted to C# Property, unless a stereotype <<field>> is specified.
• visibility property to one of modifiers public, protected, private and none.
• name property to property identifier.
• type property to property type.
• if multiplicity is [0..1], nullable type is used, where applicable.
• if multiplicity is one of 0..*, 1..*, *, then configurable collection type for ordered or unordered collection is used.
• if multiplicity is exact number > 1, array type [] is used.
• defaultValue property to initial value.
• Documentation property to C# XML comment as a <summary>.

UMLGeneralization

• converted to C# Extends (:).
• Allowed only for UMLClass to UMLClass, and UMLInterface to UMLInterface.

UMLInterfaceRealization

• converted to C# Implements (:).
• Allowed only for UMLClass to UMLInterface.
