Analyze .NET assemblies using NDepend

Patrick pointed me at the cool (and free!) NDepend code analyzer that he has built for .NET 2.0.  It analyzes .NET assemblies and generates reports on design quality metrics, along with warnings and diagrams.  Some of the graphical reports in particular are very cool:

  

You can learn more about it and download it for free here.

Thanks Patrick!

Yeah.... TreeMaps are cool, you can see a cool one sequoiaview which maps the size of folders and files on your disc.
Anyway, this is cool... beats my old depends which just does a treeview of the dependinces.
