How can Visual Studio Code Maps help you debug your code?

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Visual Studio's commercial versions contain a very useful feature called Code Maps. While having talked with numerous developers, it seems to me that quite many developers are not aware of this feature, and thus I wanted to blog about it.

Code Maps allows you to take an existing source code base, and automatically generate internal architecture diagrams from it. The resulting diagram will show which methods call which methods, and which classes work together.

If you want to understand your code base better, document it, or learn how an existing (larger) .NET application works, enter Code Maps.

Hope this helps!
