What's new in NDepend v4.0
The biggest NDepend milestone ever!
  • NDepend v4.0 proposes seamless code query and rule over LINQ thanks to CQLinq.
    More than 60 new CQLinq default code rules are proposed.
    Most of previous CQL default rules have been enhanced and a CQL to CQLinq automatic converter tool is available.

  • CQLinq is based on the new NDepend.API code model.
    14 open-sources Power Tools developed on top of NDepend.API are available.
    It is easy to create your own Power Tool or adapt existing ones.

  • NDepend v4.0 integrates into Visual Studio 2012, 2010 and 2008

    Concerning the new CQLinq query language, I simply cannot overstate how much better it is to use than the old CQL queries. The NDepend team has done a tremendous job! I was able to solve my particular problem in no time, even though I started from scratch. I’m definitely going to buy the version 4 upgrade as soon as possible.
    Spontaneous feedback from Carl-Johan Berg .NET Developer at AMF Sweden

CQLinq: Code Query and Rule over LINQ

NDepend.API and Power Tools
Around 200 default queries and rules are provided when you create a new NDepend project. They are easy to read and easy to adapt to your need.



Polished CQLinq query and rule editor with:
  • CQLinq editor with code completion / intellisense
  • Integrated tooltip documentation
  • Live compile error description
Because your time is precious, CQLinq is very fast with around 100 queries compiled and executed per second.
