C# Options - Model

If you intend to generate C# code from your model, you can configure the model-specific code generation options using the 'C# Specifications' page of the 'Manage Project Options' dialog to:

  • Specify the default file extension
  • Indicate additional Collection Classes - to define custom Collection Classes, which can be simple substitutions (such as CArray<#TYPE#>) or a mix of other strings and substitutions (such as Cmap<CString,LPCTSTR,#TYPE#*,#TYPE#*>); these Collection Classes are defined by default:
         -  List<#TYPE#>;Stack<#TYPE#>;Queue<#TYPE#>;
  • Set the StateMachine Engineering options
  • Specify the Collection Class definitions for Association connectors

  • 'Use the new StateMachine Template' - set to True to use the code generation  templates from Enterprise Architect Release 11 and later, set to False to apply the EASL Legacy templates
  • 'Generate Trace Code' - set to True to generate Trace code, False to omit it
 Legacy State Machine Templates

Collection Classes
