select the Project node within the Solution Explorer and then click the View Class Diagram button in the upper right
of the Solution Explorer window.
Beyond simply displaying the relationships of the types within your current application, recall from
Chapter 2 that you can also create brand new types and populate their members using the Class
Designer toolbox and Class Details window.
If you want to make use of these visual tools during the remainder of the book, feel free. However,
always make sure you analyze the generated code so you have a solid understanding of what these tools
