Graphical visualization of existing .NET code

I saw that VS 2010 Ultimate can generate a model graph from existing code. But the VS 2010 Ultimate version costs $ 11,000, which is too expensive for my budget. Is there a good alternative for visualizing a graph of .NET code?

NDepend comes with a dependency graph combined with a dependency matrix. You can try NDepend directly on your code thanks to the free trial release . Read more about this feature in this article Exploring Existing Code Architecture in Visual Studio . Any type of chart is supported, including:

  • Dependency graph
  • Call schedule
  • Class Inheritance Schedule
  • Communication schedule
  • Path chart
  • Diagram of all paths
  • Cycle cycles
  • A large graph visualized with a dependency structure matrix

Here are the screenshots to illustrate:

How about a graph add-in for .Net Reflector?

The reflector has additional elements that can already show something like this: http://reflectoraddins.codeplex.com/ .

And I believe that NDepend also has a dependency graph: http://www.ndepend.com/Screenshots.aspx .
