Maybe I did not found it in the settings but, if not available, an option to approve or disable error reports send from NDepend to http://www.ndepend.com/ErrorLog.aspx as it includes a lot of data would be helpfull

Improve UI/UX bigger errors - i.e. reduce huge font on Dependency Graph
Hi Patrick,
the Font of the text in the Dependency Graph are extremely different in size.The bigger are huge and the other so tiny to be unreadable.
This makes the graph much less usable
https://i.imgur.com/d5GUtby.pngMy suggestion, use the font maximum size to 16px and minimum size to 7 px and use all the available space.

Support for embedded PDB
We've moved from portable to embedded PDBs for our .NET projects - this means there is no longer a separate PDB file and the PDB information is embedded in the assembly. Please can NDepend support this so that queries using .PDBFound and NbLinesOfCode etc. continue to work?

New to NDepend
Please make the setup a bit easier to understand. I am a new user for Ndepend and i spent 30 mins trying to create a dependency graph of a existing project and in the end just gave up!

Add integration and documentation for AWS CodeBuild
AWS CodeBuild is our go-to solution for building and testing DotNet Core solutions. This would be similar to Appveyor, but benefit from inheriting the IAM security model and S3 storage of artifacts. CodeBuild also recently added Reports which provide a way to track test metrics over time. Seems like a perfect fit.

Create custom extension methods
NDepend is great but it definitely won't be able to cover all requirements for all customers, so, it'll be much better if we can extend NDepend !
In my organization, we've a lot of rules that share some logic so I need to encapsulate this logic in a single extension method either in a C# dll or a CQLinq query and reuse it anywhere.6 votes -

Select N+1 - Database Code within a loop
I'd like to query for instances of the Select N+1 problem. Where database code is happening within a loop resulting in 'N' database queries for each iteration of the loop where one or two well-designed queries would do.
This could be implemented by searching for any method calls to a sub-typer of IRepository<T> or Repository<T> that occurs within a for, foreach or Enumerable loop.

There should be a specific type of rules which lead to error in developement time
We need to define a set of dependency rules which violating them generates error at development time, local visual studio build, and build server.

VSTS Plugin Dashboard should allow full screen view
The VSTS/DevOps plugin dashboard view on my laptop is really small with large lists.
It would really help if you provided a full-screen mode for portions of the reports like VSTS/DevOps does on other parts of the system.
For example, if I look at the Issues/Debt screen, and select "Critical Issues" on the left for example, the list can be quite long, but I can only see 10 items at a time with my laptop.
Not to mention that above that content there are two big divs that are probably wasting space.
One that says "Double click an issue to…

TODO / priority management with tags / groups
In a program and project, we might need to focus on certain aspects of the project, and postpone certains problems (or tag them as priority/under consideration/for further release).
The idea would be to create tags (like bags) to put rules / types / namespaces / functions to group or remove from a group one or several of these elements.
In that case, the project manager and the team can focus on the objectives, while keeping an eye on the overall objectives, for another timeframe. This would lead to multiple dashboards (on per tag for instance).
THis is part of project…

Match CQLinq code editing behavior with VS's
I would like to see a match CQLinq code edit behavior with VS's one.
eg., select multiple lines, then 'tab' and 'shift+tab' would shift +/-1 tab those lines.
eg., caret not selecting anything but put on line x, then 'ctrl+c' 'ctrl+v' 'ctrl+d' would copy the entire line (with \r\n included), paste the entire line, duplicate the entireline
eg., double click one word would show all usages of this word4 votes -
Update the GUI look and feel to a WPF + responsive GUI
- The usage/look/feel is kind of clunky, with so miscellaneous delays and microadjustments, which make it feel slow.
- Several panels are having a 'not really adapted' display.
- A responsive display and adjustments would be much welcome.
- Adding a smart column adjustment (put the mouse cursor between two column titles, the cursor becomes a left-right double arrow, then double click will make the collumn adjust to minimum width without cutting the largest row) would be much welcome.

ndepend console should run on .NET Standard for Linux based builders
We are beginning to move towards linux based builders using a .NET Core environment for our .NET Core projects that are not dependent on windows. Because NDepend is a part of our build process, we cannot run any analysis at build times on the projects that have moved in that direction.
Make NDepend.Console .NET Core compliant so that it can run on these Linux builders and restore full analysis capability to out builds.

Augmented reality for NDepend
The ndepend tool is for profound users, to make it closer to ordinary people I suggest incorporating some elements of augmented reality (like this https://jasoren.com/logistics/)

Provide a UI to list and manage History Analysis Results
In the NDepend Project Properties > Analysis > Baseline for Comparison > History Analysis Results, the user can choose where History Analysis Results are stored and the frequency of storage.These results can then be used as baseline.
It might happen that some History Analysis Results are lacking some important data, like coverage data or some specific source code data, because at analysis time this info was not available.
When such result is chosen as baseline, this has an important impact on issues computed and on the technical debt estimated. For now the user can remove concerned History Analysis Result by…
