NsDepCop - Namespace Dependency Checker Tool for C#

NsDepCop is a static code analysis tool that enforces dependency rules in C# projects, based on namespaces.

• It runs as part of the build process and reports any dependency problems.
• No more unplanned or unnoticed dependencies in your system.

What is this dependency control anyway? And why should you automate it?

Getting Started

1. Add the NsDepCop NuGet package to your C# projects:
2. Add a text file named 'config.nsdepcop' to your project, then edit it to define your dependency rules.
3. Dependency violations will be underlined in the code editor and reported at build time just like compiler errors/warnings.

See the Help for details.
