Many of you have heard me talk about NDepend on numerous blog posts and speaking engagements.  I hope to be able to do full presentations during the summer to various user groups on NDepend.

Good news is here:  NDepend 2.0 has been released with some major enhancements such as an interactive view of your application and a language dedicated to query and constraint the structure of your code: Code Query Language.

NDepend is one of the tools I absolutely love and can’t live without when it comes to a fast look at what is happening with all of my code.  And now, there is VisualNDepend which also includes CQL!

Setting up NDepend to run reports on your code is super simple and easy, I can’t stress enough how you should be using this free tool.  Using NDepend, coupled with other tools I use like Red-Gate ANTS Profiler (reviewed here and here) and FxCop, keeping track of my code and what’s going on and where to make fixes has never been easier.
