    Hi,

        I have joined a new company and have been tasked with continuing a project someone has left behind. With a lack of or any documention, I find it hard understanding the code. It is actually in C++.

    But nonetheless, I was wondering if there is any plugin or feature in VS.NET 2003 which can use the existing source codes and generate an UML diagram. This can greatly help me with understanding the code.

     

    Thanking you all in advance.
