Project Dependency Visualiser

Creates a map of dependencies between csproj project files inside a given directory.

The generated map is a dgml file, natively supported by all versions of Visual Studio so you can zoom and arrange till your hearts content.

Getting Started

From this github repo go to the releases section and download the latest release. Unzip to a folder and run as below.

Usage:

Generate a dgml file by looking in the folder c:\mycode for csproj files

.\ProjectDependencyVisualiser.exe -O c:\temp\temp.dgml -R c:\mycode

Same as above but ignoring Test projects

.\ProjectDependencyVisualiser.exe -O c:\temp\temp.dgml -R c:\mycode -E "*.Test.*.csproj,*.Tests.*.csproj"
