Referencing Class Libraries from Applications on Application Diagrams 

In Application Designer, you can use an ASP.NET Web service, Windows, or Office application as a façade for functionality implemented by class libraries. This makes it possible to represent the interaction between these class libraries and other applications on the application diagram. You can reverse-engineer Web service references and custom Web service client proxy classes defined in these class libraries as Web service consumer endpoints and database consumer endpoints on the façade application.
