VB Source code solution class module diagram/s

Hi All,

I have developed an application in vb net. This has occurred over a number of years so there are part of the program code that are recent and familiar and parts that are no so recent.

I'd rather like to be able to create a map/diagram of the program code/classes/modules all the way from formMain 'load' to the very last method. It would be great if it showed which methods called other methods and the variables and fields used in those methods.

I have looked at the 'View Class Diagram' function in VS2005; seems to only provide a picture of the fields and methods in each class. No relationship between them, eg which method calls which other method etc

Sorry for the newby question... have been searching (google and the like) and finding way too many confusing results; not sure that they are even useful answers.

Please do let me know if you know of good simple program that will create this diagram from my vb project.

Regards
Neil

Hi Simon, Thanks for the answer. Had a quick look at Argo. Seems great for drawing UML from scratch. Doesn't leap out at me that it can be used to create a UML from the existing VB project file... unless I'm missing something. Is this what you use it for? eg documenting your existing VB projects? Regards Neil

yes its something I've used to document existing projects. The class Diagram allows you to define all the elements of a class
