  1. List Rules Violations

    In addition to list rules violated, list rules violations in a new dedicated panel. This would be convenient to pinpoint which assembly / which namespace / which class concentrate a lots of violations.

  3. 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):

  6. 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?

  8. 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

  9. Update .NET Profile Directory Resolution

    When using a .NET Profile, the NuGet packages directory stored in the <Dirs> element of the project is fully resolved to include the username. This poses a problem when committing the ndproj file to source control since the project settings are specific to a developer machine. It would be better to use %userprofile% instead:
    %userprofile%\.nuget\packages

    Even further, would it be best to just store the .NET Profile configuration itself in the ndproj project file instead of the corresponding paths? The resolved paths could possibly be saved in the suo file instead. This would also help resolve issues when there are…

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. I would like to be able to easily remove all default NDepend keyboard shortcuts in VS

    I would like to be able to easily remove all default NDepend keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio.

    NDepend shortcuts seem to be all based on using the Alt key and set at the Global scope, to they regularly conflict with the keyboard shortcuts on tool windows in VS. An example of this is the Find in Files window - I cant hit Alt+A to click the Find All button because NDepend has globally mapped that to some element search tool that I dont need or want to use.

    There are many NDepend commands and its really tedious to unmap them…

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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. Do not open all kinds of (tool) windows when/after running analysis

    I prefer to open/select and postion the windows when and how myself.
    I often do not need or want to view the default windows opened and it creates a kind of restlessness in the UI.
