You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. If Statements Counted as Local Variables?

    Is NDepend counting if statements as local variables? The number of local variables reported by NDepend is often much higher than what I manually count. In some cases NDepend is reporting 10+ more local variables in addition to the number that are actually declared.

  2. Description and Code for Avoid methods with too many parameters Do Not Match

    The description of rule Avoid methods with too many parameters says "This rule matches methods with more than 8 parameters.". The source code finds all methods with greater than 6 parameters.

    warnif count > 0 from m in JustMyCode.Methods where
    m.NbParameters >= 7

  3. Improve mapping of NDepend issues to Sonarcube

    Currently when using NDepend with SonarCube all critical rules are mapped to blocker issues and all other to major issues.

    Since NDepend 2017 has introduced the same granularity of issue severity as SonarCube has it would make sense to map it using this severity rating instead of using the obsolete critical/none critical rules flag of NDepend.

  5. Support for dark theme in Visual Studio

    Many developers use dark (or various others) theme in VS. NDepend should support that and style its windows accordingly.

  6. Add importance weighting to rules for more robust "fails"

    Instead of a binary critical or not critical flag for rules, it would be nice to have a weighting system for rules (e.g. "each violation of this rule is worth 3, but each violation of this important rule is worth 8").
    Then perhaps we could assign a threshold for whether our analysis failed based on point totals, or some percentage formula.

  8. Suppress items in the analysis

    It would be great if you can suppress certain items from the analysis result and add a remark to why you suppressed them.

    Some warnings might not be applicable to a certain item in the list, but if you cannot suppress them they will always count the item. Only other option is to fully disable the rule, but this might have unwanted consequences (like no warnings in the past).

    A feature like: "Accept this violation" would be highly appreciated.

  11. Exclude compiler generated code by default

    Exclude all compiler generated code from all graphs and queries by default. This is very cumbersome when working with Task, async and await for .Net 4.5+

  13. Add better support for async

    NDepend currently analyses all the method delegates etc, scoring a class with async keywords as complex and also misrepresents the number of fields and members as it includes code generated members rather than mapping back to keyword + closures.

  14. Remember window layouts

    Each time I start Visual Studio, the NDepend windows are in a different place than I moved them before. I am using 2 monitors and I'd really like to have the NDepend windows on my second screen so that I can work in Visual Studio and have a look at the metrics at the same time.

  15. Path

    Improved Path Support: please implement an improvement to Path support such that I can use both relative path + path variables in the ndproj file.

    This is important as I want to be able to:

    • add specific assemblies to the ndproj using a relative path. This means that when I branch, I don't need to update the default value to include the new branch name when using Visual NDepend

    • support two standard arguments used through our build process $(Configuration) and $(Platform)

    Example of what I want to be able to do in he Path References screen (screenshots available on request):

  16. Add a command line argument to Depend.Console.exe to be able to pass the code coverage files

    When building with TeamCity you can generate dotCover coverage files which would be convenient to be able to pass as parameters to Depend.Console.exe
