Object Mapper

Hi there,

Does anyone know a good tool/utility available in the market that would
either describe in a text file or draw a map (or do both) of object
dependencies in a program?

Something like by providing the .sln or .csproj/.vbproj file (or whatever
needed to provide) the utility would read the code and describe/draw a map of
all objects/classes used, where are used, who depends on them and who they
depend on.

This would help a lot on bug fixing and maintenance of code where a
technical design document of a program is absent (due to whatever reason,
don't ask me, I just got hired in here a couple of months ago and we are in a
rush).

Many thanks in advanced.

Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems will allow you to reverse engineer a
UML diagram showing inheritance relationships. The older version I used
didn't capture "using" relationships but the newest version may. You may
want to download the trial version and see if you can do what you want.

Many thanks.
