We have created class diagrams for the Microsoft XNA Framework 4.0 assemblies (including Content Pipeline). (If you are looking for XNA 3 class diagrams, take a look at this post: XNA 3.x Framework Class Diagrams).

A Few Notes

• The class diagrams contain all types of the Microsoft XNA Framework 4.0.
• We tried to arrange the class diagrams so that they can be viewed on a widescreen monitor.
• Large namespaces, e.g. Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics, are subdivided into several diagrams.
• Some class members are hidden to remove “noise” and save space:
  • Constructors, destructors
  • Overridden members if they are trivial (e.g. ToString, GetHashCode) or if the base class is in the class diagrams.
  • Interface members if the interface is well-known (e.g. IDisposable, ICollection) or if the inteface is in the class diagrams.

Please let us know if you find anything missing or if you have ideas for improvement.

Download

We have compiled all diagrams in a single PDF file. Actually there are two versions: one for paper size A4 and one for paper size Letter. Otherwise, both versions are identical:

• Xna-4-Class-Diagrams-(A4).pdf
• Xna-4-Class-Diagrams-(Letter).pdf

Below you can view individual class diagrams (click thumbnails).
