  1. Add support for enumerating count of suppressions/attributes

    We have a situation where SuppressMessage attributes are being used very liberally in order to remove issues NDepend finds from the tech debt metrics. This is an unintended side effect of engineers attempting to get their tech debt percent to zero. I don't believe that this aligns with the spirit of the tool and I would like to create some custom rules/gates around issue suppressions in order to discourage their overuse. I am of the strong opinion that these attributes should be used sparingly and an excessive number of these attributes is a sign of tech debt, as it means…

  2. 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.

  3. Basic support for managed C++

    I stumbled upon that properties in the API do not work correctly with managed C++ projects. For example IAssembly.VisualStudioProjectFilePath always returns null in case of a vcxproj or ISourceFile.Language always returns SourceFileLanguage.Other.
    This is not about full support for managed C++ but basic things like the ones above would be great if they work when working in a heterogenous environment.

  4. Be able to query methods parameters types

    NDepend code model should propose a getter IType[] IMethods.ParametersTypes to be able to write certain code queries and rules, like security related ones.

  5. Parse VB.NET code

    Parse VB.NET code the same way C# code is parsed, to gather the code metrics # Lines of Comment and Source Code Cyclomatic Complexity from VB.NET code bases.
