IBM XDE for Visual studio .NET hasn’t been released for 2005 versions. But the alternate is released along with the studio itself.
The Visual Studio Class Designer is a visual code design tool that is an integrated design experience for the .NET Framework. The visual experience of Class Designer is closely tied to the common language runtime. CLR shapes such as classes, structures, and interfaces are represented by visually distinct shapes that indicate their identity. Furthermore, the terminology in the diagram is language specific-for example in Visual Basic, you might work with Public, Private and Friend access levels, whereas in C# they will be displayed as public, private, and internal. The close integration of the Class Designer with the CLR makes it an ideal tool for authoring classes using the .NET Framework.
