UML Modeling , Visio & Visual Studio 2008

People have been asking what is the story for UML Modeling with Visual Studio 2008. The way Visio used to be integrated with Visual Studio 2005, it does not work the same way with Visual Studio 2008.

You could simply use Visio for UML modeling stand alone. However, If you want to sync your UML models with Visual Studio 2008, currently you have to rely on third party tools such as SPARX Enterprise Architect. Thats works well and nicely integrated with Visual Stuido 2008. Also watch out for Visual Studio Architect Edition 2010 which has a good support for UML diagrams. Visual Studio Architect Editon 2010 is crrently in Beta and expected to release later this year.
