Are there any tools that could reverse engineer your code and make UML diagrams out of them? or vice versa? Does the class diagram of vs do it? are there any guides on what usage class diagrams could possibly have?
 
I'm more interested in this statement.

"are there any guides on what usage class diagrams could possibly have?"

I suggest you understand what a class diagram is before trying to do the rest.

I know what a class diagram is in UML, I'm not sure however if in vs.net it is meant to be the same thing. is it?
 
Open a window in VS.NET. Go to Project—>Visio UML—>Reverse Engineer. This automatically shows you the class diagrams with perfect relationships.

Note: This tip will work with VS.NET Version 1.0.0 and higher. "

Thanks for the link RvierGuy, but I don't seem to have Visio UML in my project menu, on visual studio.net 2005 SP1

Do you have that item?
 
meanwhile I worked with vs.net's class diagram, it seems to have whatever I need. However it doesn't seem to understand aggregation (implementing an interface), because it doesn't draw a line there
 
on visual studio.net 2005 SP1

It depends on what edition of Visual Studio you have. It might only be available in Team Developer or Team System (Enterprise??), and certainly won't be in Express, and only might maybe be in Professional.
