Summary
In this chapter we started to develop a Visio 2010 Add-In that enables the rules developer to analyze what rules have been transgressed to cause any particular issue. We have provided an interface that allows the rules developer to add, copy, paste, modify, and delete rule sets and rules.
In the next chapter, we are going to extend the add-in to provide an export of rules to XML, and to a report so that the rules can be reviewed. We will provide an import of rule sets from the XML files that we created. Finally, we will also create annotations for issues in Visio so that the diagrams can be viewed with corresponding issues to assist the rules developer in analyzing the reason for failing validation.
