When you want to understand specific dependencies in your code, visualize them by creating code maps. You can then navigate these relationships by using the map, which appears next to your code. Code maps can also help you keep track of your place in the code while you work or debug code, so you'll read less code while you learn more about your cod...

Amongst the improvements we’ve made to Code Maps in Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 RTM are: The icons are now consistent with Solution Explorer and other tools The following screenshot shows a code map in Visual Studio 2015 RC.

In this post, we're going to walk you through how the new "filter link types" feature on code maps can be used to analyze dependencies and declutter maps when using them to understand the design of code. Analyze dependencies I'm trying to understand the dependencies in my app (the one we've chosen is an internal, experimental tool for visualizing...

Introduction This post explains some of our plans for evolving our architecture and design tools in Visual Studio, including new capabilities and changes to existing capabilities that we will be delivering in the next major release and subsequent updates. Although these plans have already been informed by an analysis of usage data and talking ext...

Do you have code that should be seen by only a subset of members of your on-premises team project collection? Do you use Team Foundation Build (TFBuild)? If so, you must create some custom groups to reduce the risk that unauthorized team project collection members can use a build process to bypass team project permissions. Problem ...
