R.Ramesh's WebLog https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/r.ramesh/feed.xml Wed, 17 Apr 2019 03:24:19 GMT en-US hourly 1 Visual Studio Team Architecture's Shanghai connection https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/r.ramesh/visual-studio-team-architectures-shanghai-connection Sun, 09 Nov 2008 22:20:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/r.ramesh/2008/11/09/visual-studio-team-architectures-shanghai-connection/ As I had mentioned a few months ago, I moved to Shanghai a couple of years back to start a new engineering team for VS Team Architecture.  Now that we have announced the product at PDC and have released a CTP version of the product I'll start sharing some of the details around the work we have been doing.

If you missed PDC, you can watch the recorded sessions posted at Channel 9.

You can view Peter Provost's talk on VS Team Architecture here.

Cheers,

]]> Class Designer Powertoys for VS 2008 https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/r.ramesh/class-designer-powertoys-for-vs-2008 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:53:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/r.ramesh/2008/04/05/class-designer-powertoys-for-vs-2008/ Someone pointed out that the link I provided for the powertoys is no longer valid.  This is because we have moved all the shared projects from GotDotNet to CodePlex.

You will now be able to download the Class Designer Powertoys for VS 2008 from https://www.codeplex.com/modeling.

]]> The past few months... https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/r.ramesh/the-past-few-months Thu, 06 Sep 2007 22:14:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/r.ramesh/2007/09/06/the-past-few-months/ The past few months, well, it'll be almost a year in November, I have been living in Shanghai, China.  As you may have heard, Developer Division has started a development center here.  I moved here to build a team for developing features for Visual Studio Team Architecture edition.

It has been a tremendous experience so far, both personally and professionally. 

The first 6 months here I was engaged in helping the Class Designer team complete support for Native C++ and also some new language features in C# and VB.  I was also involved in development of .Net VB controls like Line and Shape, PrintForm etc.

The Team Architecture team was formed in mid-May and we are now engaged in building features for the Rosario release of Visual Studio.

I hope to start blogging more often.

Cheers,

Ramesh.

This only works with the Beta 2 build.  It has some cool features like Pan/Zoom Window, MSDN Help on System Types, Dongles for easy creation of associations and inhertiance lines etc.  You can find the list of all the cool features enabled by the add-ins here.  There is also an add-in for the Distributed System Designer (available from the same download).

Note that the Powertoys have been moved from GotDotNet to the CodePlex site.  Class Designer PowerToys for VS 2008 can be found at https://www.codeplex.com/modeling.

]]> Converting Beta 1 class diagrams to Beta 2 format https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/r.ramesh/converting-beta-1-class-diagrams-to-beta-2-format Thu, 21 Apr 2005 12:42:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/r.ramesh/2005/04/21/converting-beta-1-class-diagrams-to-beta-2-format/ If you have created class diagrams using Visual Studio Beta 1, they will not open in Beta 2.  However, since the class diagram files persistence format is XML, Oleg from the Class Designer team has created a stylesheet to convert these diagrams to Beta 2.  Steps on how to do so is explained here (in the class designer team's blog).

Cheers,

Ramesh.
