NDepend has really been spiffed up!!
NDepend has been around for a while. The author of the tool has really done a great job with the 2.0 (in beta now) release. Very cool looking graphs, navigation panel, and query capabilities.
If you’ve ever had to take someone elses crap code and need to figure out what’s going on, this is definitely a great aid.
How does NDepend help me have a better understanding and control over my .NET code?
NDepend analyses .NET assemblies of an application and generates reports containing design quality metrics, warnings and diagrams. More on reports in the Sample Reports section.
The VisualNDepend tool allows analysing all these data thanks to an interactive view. Such view can be tuned according to numerous software metrics. Here are some screenshots of VisualNDepend. The sample analyzed application is the 15 main assemblies of the .NET Framework 2.0 (2.8M IL instructions):
