Altova UModel 2025

The following sample inserts a new C# delegate at the top/left corner of the active diagram window (if this diagram is inside a C# namespace root). The sample uses both the UModel API and the UModel IDE Plug-In library and is available in the following file: ..\UModelExamples\IDEPlugIn\CSharpDelegate\UModelCSharpDelegate.cs.

 

To build and run the sample, the same requirements as for other UModel IDE Plug-ins apply, see Build and Run the Plug-In.
