More about MS Visual Studio
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment, created by the Microsoft company and available for Windows and macOS operating systems, however, there are compatible forks for Linux.
Microsoft Visual Studio supports multiple programming languages, such as C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, F#, Java, Python, Ruby, and PHP, as well as web development environments such as ASP.NET.

These CD files contain information in the form of diagrams.
The name of the CD extension derives from these diagrams, as it stands for 'Class Diagram'.
The diagrams included in the CD file help developers to understand the source code, since it is represented in a visual way.
To create CD files it is necessary to navigate to a specific function within Microsoft Visual Studio.
They are generated exclusively by the class diagram editor.
The visualization of the diagrams is created in XML format.
