Slnx Mermaid (RC)

SLNX Mermaid – Getting Started

Overview

SLNX Mermaid generates Mermaid diagrams from Visual Studio solution files (.sln / .slnx). It helps visualize project dependencies and architecture directly inside Visual Studio.

2. Restart Visual Studio if required.

How to Use

1. Open a solution (.sln or .slnx).
2. Right-click the solution node in Solution Explorer.
3. Select the SLNX Mermaid command.
4. The diagram file will be generated.
5. Open the generated file in a Mermaid-compatible viewer or Markdown preview.

Configuration

If a configuration file is supported:

• Place the configuration file in the solution directory.
• Adjust filtering or output options as needed.

Output

The extension generates a Mermaid diagram file describing:

• Project references
• Dependency relationships
• Structural overview

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the solution builds successfully.
• Ensure project references are valid.
• Check the Output window for extension logs.
