Hi

&nbsp;

Can anyone give me a hint, how I might be able to get the ClassDiagramms of VisualStudio automatically generated (with Finalbulder) and exported to an image?

&nbsp;

I plan to have one NetworkStorage where&nbsp; current diagrams of als important classes are stored. so they could be referenced for wiki articels and so on..

&nbsp;

Many thanks in advance&nbsp;!

Hi Boas,   
  
 As far as I can tell this can’t be done from outside the Visual Studio IDE, please see the following post from MSDN:
