Related to the stuff below, I am doing some modeling and design of some .NET classes related to serialization. I know there was some Rational XDE discussions earlier on the list. If I define a class that implements ISerializable and uses things like System.Xml.Serialization, how do I get the Microsoft classes to appear on the class diagram? Thanks.
