Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
System.NotImplementedExceptionThis extension method cannot be called from a program consuming NDepend.API. In such context, the method NDepend.Issue.IIssuesSet.CostToReachBetterRating must be called instead.
Remarks
Better rating means the rating just better than the actual one.
If code element actual rating is NDepend.TechnicalDebt.DebtRating.D, better rating is NDepend.TechnicalDebt.DebtRating.C.
If code element actual rating is NDepend.TechnicalDebt.DebtRating.B, better rating is NDepend.TechnicalDebt.DebtRating.A.
If code element actual rating is NDepend.TechnicalDebt.DebtRating.A, this method returns NDepend.TechnicalDebt.Debt.NDepend.TechnicalDebt.Debt.Zero.
This method implementation calls NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.CostToReachBetterRating.
This method returns null if NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.NDepend.TechnicalDebt.IDebtFormatter.ToDebtRatio(codeElement) returns null.
