Is there some way of knowing what classes and or methods are being used in each of my programs?  We currently don't have very many classes, but as we build upon them I can see that we could lose track of things pretty quickly.  I don't want to have to go into each program and check what class has been added as a reference.  I also don't want to rely on human documentation.

We are using Visual Cobol with visual studio 2010.

 

Thanks

You can select Class View or Object Browser from the View menu and this will show you all classes and the methods within those classes for your project or solution.

If you are looking for a view of external dependencies for a particular class then I believe that you can generate a dependency graph if you have the Visual Studio Ultimate edition.

I have never tried this so I can make no guarantees on this.

Other tools are available such as .NET Reflector that can help give you an overview of what your application is doing.

Perhaps other users have some ideas of additonal tools that may be helpful in this area?
