Integrating domain-specific languages with each other and with UML models is on the menu this month. These new and revised topics show how to link models using ModelBus. They include examples and new walkthroughs.

Accessing Models from Text Templates Explains how to access a model by using the DSL directive processor.
Integrating Models by using Visual Studio Modelbus Explains how to make links between models, and how to navigate the links in program code.
Using Visual Studio Modelbus in a Text Template Describes how to handle interlinked models in a text template. This topic includes a walkthrough in which you set up a DSL that is accessed in both a text template and in other code.
How to: Add a Drag and Drop Handler Let your users drag elements from one diagram to another. Shows how to include objects in the dragged prototype, and how to drag to or from a UML model.
