C# code and modeling correspondence

Overview

Listed below are common concepts used in C# development, together with the way they can be expressed in Objecteering.

Notions on a package

C# notion	UML model mapping
generating a sub-package from a larger modeling project, without having the entire package hierarchy	the {CsName} tagged value with the parameter containing the complete name on the package in question.

Notions on a class

C# notion	UML model mapping
interface	“interface” stereotype on a class.
abstract class	"Abstract" field of a class.
sealed class	"Leaf" field of a class.
generalization	class generalization, or {CsExtends} tagged value.
interface implementation	implementation link, or {CsImplements} tagged value.
imports classes	use and reference links of its package, or {csUse} tagged value on the class and its package.
class invariant	constraint on class, stereotyped “CsInvariant”.

Notions on an operation

C# notion	UML model mapping
public visibility	Public value of the Visibility field on an operation.
protected visibility	Protected value of the Visibility field on an operation.
private visibility	Private value of the Visibility field on an operation.
internal visibility	{CsVisibility("internal")} tagged value.
protected internal visibility	{CsVisibility("protected internal")} tagged value.
constructor	“create” stereotype on an operation.
finalize() method	“destroy” stereotype on an operation.
abstract	"Abstract" operation field.
static	"Class" operation field.
sealed	"Cannot be specialized" operation field or {CsSealed} tagged value.
extern	{CsExtern} tagged value.

Notions on an attribute

C# notion	UML model mapping
visibility	same mapping process as for operations.
static	Class field of an attribute.
Sealed	{CsSealed} tagged value.
