Project

You can reverse engineer VB .NET projects when you select VB .NET projects from the Reverse Engineer list in the Reverse Engineer VB .NET dialog box.

Make sure you reverse engineer each project into a separate model.

Assembly properties are reverse engineered as follow:

Title

Name of the model

Copyright

AssemblyProduct extended attribute

Stored in CustomAttributes extended attribute

Project properties are reverse engineered as extended attributes whether they have a value or not. For example, the default HTML page layout is saved in extended attribute DefaultHTMLPageLayout.

You can use the Ellipsis button in the Value column to modify the extended attribute value, however you should be very cautious when performing such changes as they may jeopardize model generation.
