Integrating VS and Visio

[Ronchese]

Hello.

Is there any way to integrate the Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Professional? I read that this integration is supplied by VS
Team System Architect edition, but I would like to know if there are some
addins that also do that job.

Hi,

What do you mean by "integrate?"

Do you want to call the Visio object model from your code, and to automate
various aspects of it? Or, do you want to use Visio as a design tool for VS
(UML, etc.). If the second is your goal, then Architect is the way... If
you want to do #1, use Visio (like one might use Excel, Word, or Access)
object in your program, then that is, comparatively, straight forward.
There are a number of Visio newsgroups targeted toward this. Search for any
that start with microsoft.public.visio.developer(etc.).
