NDepend CQL queries returning N/A for LOC

Question

Using the the following CQL query:

SELECT  NAMESPACES WHERE NameLike "Test$" ORDER BY NbLinesOfCode DESC

I am getting some results that show "N/A" instead of a number for NbLinesOfCode. Anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve it?

Note: I tried changing NbLinesOfCode to NbILInstructions, and none of the result records showed N/A.

Answer 1

There can be two things here:

• If both NbLinesOfCode and NbILInstructions shows N/A, it means that the namespace doesnt have any code and contains only types without code (like interfaces, delegates or enumerations)
• If only NbLinesOfCode shows N/A but NbILInstructions shows something, then it means NDepend cannot have access to the assemblies PDB. More information in: Understanding NDepend Analysis Inputs
