  • NDepend v3 is now 100% integrated in Visual Studio.

    First of all, if you are like me, you certainly don’t want another Visual Studio extension that will slow down your work environment. So let’s be clear: tremendous efforts have been put on performance and memory consumption. Even on large code base, made of hundreds of thousands of lines...
