[2.0] What's a good UML Modeling Tool for C#?

[Fromethius]

Does anyone know a good one? There seems to be thousands of them. I don't really want to pay for one but if it's good enough, I guess I will. Just something to easily make diagrams for is all I need. Has anyone had any experience with any good ones? Can you recommend them?

I have never regarded them as necessary to the development cycle. Are you looking to acquire one simply to fulfill a "standard procedure"?

If not then I'd recommend not bothering with it. There are plenty of open source (free) ones on sourceforge if you really need to appease some management box-ticker.

No, I'm designing a game and I am finding it much harder to keep up on and I wish to use UML to help regulate stuff and understand my game better.

Also, what's a management box-ticker?

Does anyone know what program was used to create this diagram?

Looks a lot like a heavily modified Visual Studio (C#) 2005's Class diagram.

Oh you can use VS to make class diagrams? I'll have to check that out.

Yes, it's a major resource hog too. Enjoy.

Honestly, that looks like exactly what I was looking for! I think I'll use that if I do end up actually liking/using UML.

Well, my computer is really fast, and since it is Microsoft's, you can pretty much be sure that it is already going to be a resource hog
