Question

I am using c# express and would like to use a free tool to design my class diagrams. What do you recommend for a free tool?

Answer 1

There is also NClass, which is quite new, probably not ready for large projects, but looks promising.

Edit: This tool is not new anymore and unfortunately it isn't actively maintained since a while. Last release was on 30 Jul 2010.

Thanks for the tip -- I wanted something like Visual Studio class diagrams, so I can write code at design time and build diagrams from it. Visual Studio Express lacks class diagrams, but NClass (with assembly import) is just the ticket! – Lizzettelizzie

Answer 2

You should also check out StarUML. It's great and free!

Heads up....This is completely unable to work with C# in Visual Studio 2010. I wasted 30 minutes trying it. – Badmouth

Answer 3

With or without code generation?

Without I know Dia and ArgoUML. Also, you might wanna dig through this list.

Answer 4

I realize this is a very old question but at least for the past few years Sharp Develop can be used to create class diagrams. Not as good as VS but comparable.

That one doesn't look free, as per the OP question. – Cassius

I use yEd. Its simple but has just enough functionality. It does not generate code.
