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+
44 votesWe just released NDepend v6 that now is able to merge compiler generated code into app code, in a smart way that will preserve code metrics, dependencies, difff…

Support OpenCover xml coverage files

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.
33 votesWe just released NDepend v6 that now have great support for async, and code generated by compiler in general.

NCrunch Code coverage integration.
NCrunch is an absolute must have tool, and it does code coverage very well. i'd like to see a way to get NCrunch Code Coverage data into NDepend.
127 votesNCrunch v4.5 now exports to OpenCover format. Since NDepend can import OpenCover format it means that NDepend can now read NCrunch data :-)
More details here:

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.
43 votesWe just released NDepend v6 with a VS extension that remember VS window layouts.
http://www.ndepend.com/ndepend-v6The VS extension also supports the upcoming Visual Studio 2015.

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):

Just an idea

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

Move from VS Addin to VS Extension API
This will provide better integration in VS. The first benefit will be that with VS Extension API, VS will remember NDepend panels location across two executions.
19 votesWe just released NDepend v6 and now we propose a VS extension instead of the VS addin.

Create an NDepend.CodeModel.IProperty interface
This would be especially handy to detect with CQLinq when a property is tagged with an attribute, and also to jump from the getter method to the setter method and vice-versa. So IProperty would have to implement the interface NDepend.CodeModel.IAttributeTarget
75 votesNDepend v2023.1 have a IProperty and IEvent interfaces and both implement IAttributeTarget. New APIs have been added to properly query and rule those. https://www.ndepend.com/whatsnew#v2023-1-property-event

Compute Technical Debt
Technical Debt could be computed from some formulas implemented through NDepend.API. These formulas could be OSS plugin assemblies to let the user change them. Technical Debt could be computed in terms of duration (days, hours...) or in terms of cost (USD, EUR...).

Reference VS solutions from the NDepend Project > Code to Analyze
In addition to references assemblies to analyze from NDepend project, make possible to reference also one or several VS solutions. Assemblies could then be resolved from a defined VS solutions configuration. Also a filter by name system would be handy to filter for example tests assemblies from the VS solutions.
