RSRP-83814 Class Diagram enhancement in Visual Studio: references between classes

Hi

I am missing an important feature in Visual Studios Class Diagram. If having several classes in a diagram with dependencies between them, it only seems to be possible to show an in heritace relationship between classes (with a line and arrow). But of course it should be possible to see other kinds of dependencies (with lines) like an association (aggregration. composision, and delegation although not all these are that useful in C#/VB.net) and parameterized types (generics in .NET). To my knowledge, I don't think this is possible in Visual Studio today.

Also, Microsoft have invented their own UML icons. Nice, but you can't really draw these manually on a white board or on piece of paper if you have the need to communiate the design with other people verbally. It would be nicer with the more traditional icon syntax in UML (+ - ~ etc.). As it is now, many .NET people are not familiar with the UML standard because of Visual Studio icon syntax. This make it harder to communicate design whit each other. If you can provide an option to use traditional UML icons instead of Visual Studios icons in the diagram (and other places) it would be great.

To my knowledge you have not included any diagram functionality in Resharper. I hoper these feature could be something you can take on for an upcoming release.
