In case it saves anyone else the few minutes' work it took me to figure out what this actually is and why anyone would care: There's a tool called NDepend, which supposedly does all sorts of analysis on C# and VB.NET code. It has a vaguely SQL-like query language in which you can express things like "find all methods that are public, were present in an earlier version of this code, but aren't there any more" and can generate reports based on the queries. (Query language briefly described at http://www.ndepend.com/Features.aspx#CQL http://www.ndepend.com/Features.aspx#CQL .) The article being linked to here was written by (I think) the (principal?) author of NDepend, and describes how to use it to produce a report on what has changed in your code between two versions: what methods have been added, had their visibility changed, etc. I'm not quite sure why Anon84 (1) posted a link to that blog entry rather than something more general about NDepend and what it can do, or (2) didn't post any further explanation. But perhaps my perceived lack of #2 is just because I'm dim...
