1.1.10 How to Map Fields From UML Object Diagrams to C#

After the Object Exists, Its UML Values Can Guide the C# State

Suppose the UML object diagram shows:

Activity diagram showing player1, then name "Jordan", then jerseyNumber 7, then isAvailable true.
Player.
  • New
  • Changed
  • Removed

The debugger gives evidence about whether the code produced the state the diagram describes.

Preserve the Translation Chain

For each field, keep this chain clear:

Object diagram showing UML object, then UML field and value, then supplied C# field and type, then C# assignment, then runtime state.
UMLObject.
  • New
  • Changed
  • Removed

If something does not match, identify which link in the chain is wrong instead of changing unrelated code.
