visual studio express : free class diagram tool

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

Have you tried JUDE?

Answer 2

With or without code generation?

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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.
