Figure 2-24.

Inserting a class diagram file

Once you do, you will find class icons that represent the classes in your current project. If you

click the arrow icon for a given type, you can show or hide the type’s members. Using the Class

Designer toolbar, you can fine-tune the display options of the designer surface (see Figure 2-25).

Figure 2-25.

The Class Diagram viewer

This utility works in conjunction with two other aspects of Visual Studio 2008: the Class Details

window (activated using the View ➤ Other Windows menu) and the Class Designer Toolbox (acti-

vated using the View ➤ Toolbox menu item). The Class Details window not only shows you the

details of the currently selected item in the diagram, but also allows you to modify existing mem-

bers and insert new members on the fly (see Figure 2-26).
