Vice President of the Developer Division, Somasegar, posted a blog about architecture tools in Visual Studio 2010 including some interesting dependency graph screen shots.

So to follow up on that I have posted a new Video (WMV or MP4)on Beta 2 bits that demos how this dependency graph feature works in more detail, and the video is a lovely big HD resolution (1280 x 720) so you can really see what's going on.

When I show this to customers the reaction I get is excitement followed by "finally, I can see the big picture" of my code.  Customers often find big things to improve in their code in the first 5 minutes of browsing with this tool.

Visual Studio 2010 has some really cool graph visualization technology.  Cameron Skinner first introduced DGML about 9 months ago and now that VS 2010 Beta 2 has shipped it's time for an update.

This video (WMV or MP4) takes you through some great demos to give you an idea of what it can do.  This is just a 10 minute teaser, in subsequent posts I'll drill into all the various software visualization features in more detail.

I think you'll agree that this is pretty exciting stuff and I can't wait to see all the amazing things that people will do with this new capability.
