• Visual Studio Team System Detecting unused code across multiple assemblies

  In an older version of FX Cop (a few years ago now), I think there was a public class called Graph. I wrote an app that used this class to detect unused code across multiple assemblies (we have 247 assemblies at present and around 4.5 million lines of code). Is there any current way of performing the same operation with the current version of FX Cop I managed to pull it off quite successfully - the simple answe ...Show All

When the drop occurs, I download the file over the web to a local directory, and then copy from here to the external application. I've implemented this as shown below and this works fine for dragging my word documents ...Show All
