Analyzing an asp.net site with ndepend
Question
I'm trying to analyze a web site (built with asp.net) with ndepend.
If a take a look at the CQL queries about "unused code / dead code", the tool cites almost all my methods (including the onload, onprerender, ...), which is obviously wrong.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to have a better result ? Thanks in advance
Solution
exception790, the methods you are quoting onload, onprerender... are indeed never statically used in the code but are dynamically used (at runtime) by the ASP.NET infrastructure.
NDepend being a static analyzer, it can't anticipate dynamic calls.
OTHER TIPS
As I can see from NDepend FAQ (look for "How can I analyse my ASP.NET application with NDepend?"), you'll have to precompile your web-site and analyze it after that. There's how-to there.
