How to get automatic relationships in class diagram VS2017?

Question

I need to create a UML class diagram for my .net core project. If I go to Class View - View Class Diagram, I get all of my classes, but there are no relationships and to do them by hand is a lot of work. How can it be done automatically?

Answer 1

I think there is no automatic relationships in VS 2017 , you must right-click on the field and select Show As Collection Association. Check below image:

Answer 2

I don't know how to do this in Visual Studio, but I know you can achieve this by using doxygen and Graphviz .
