In previous posts I talked about Creating and Testing your Enterprise Architect C# add-in, and how to use the C# add-in template to speed up the development process.
Once created and tested you’ll probably want to install and use the add-in on other computers then your development machine. This tutorial explains how to create an MSI installer package using the open source SharpDevelop and WiX software.
The reason I’m using SharpDevelop as opposed to Visual Studio C# Express is because SharpDevelop is free and open source, and Visual Studio C# Express doesn’t allow to create setup projects, or attach to a running process to debug your add-in.… Read more
Using the complete Enterprise Architect C# add-in template will help you speed up the process of writing add-ins for Sparx Enterprise Architect
In the post Tutorial: Create your first C# Enterprise Architect addin in 10 minutes you can find a basic template that can be used to create C# add-ins for Enterprise Architect.
But this basic template is far from complete. The EA API provides a whole set of events that can be used in an add-in.
To use one of these events you have to create a public operation in the add-in class that contains the signature of the event.… Read more
The last few days I published some of my side-projects to GitHub.
I created three repositories
In my previous post Tutorial: Create your first C# Enterprise Architect add-in in 10 minutes I explained how to create a simple add-in for Enterprise Architect.
Once created you will of course want to test it to see whether it works.
The logical thing to do is fire up Enterprise Architect and try it out. And then, as it goes with software development, you discover a bug, or a missing feature.
Next thing you do is correct the problem, build the project… and get an error, because the add-in dll is being used by Enterprise Architect and it can’t be overwritten by Visual Studio.… Read more
This post will take you through the basic steps to create your first C# add-in for Sparx Enterprise Architect in about 10 minutes.
Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems is a great UML Case tool, but you can make it even better by adding your own functionality in the form of an add-in.
You can use a number of programming languages to create add-ins for EA, but personally I like C# the best.
Before you start you should have following software on your computer ready to use:
To fully understand the steps necessary to get your add-in running you should first understand how EA’s add-in architecture works.… Read more
