Overview

bUnderstand Your Code
Having trouble understanding C# or Visual Basic .NET code? Total .NET XRef is the solution to this problem. Highlight a class, variable, method, member, property, or any other code element you've defined, and Total .NET XRef instantly builds a list of all references to that item. In a few seconds, you can see everywhere an item is used, and navigate through the list to see how your code really works.

Drill Down Into Problem Areas
As you develop and debug, you need to know where objects are used. Total .NET XRef can help you find exactly where the problem is. And as your projects grow in size and complexity, instant cross reference of names becomes a necessity, not a luxury.

Determine the Real Cost of Changes--Instantly
So you want to re-factor a class, or re-write a method. How do you know how much time the change is going to take? How destabilizing is the change going to be to code? How many new bugs will you introduce by making a change? The standard approach is to the make the change and see what it breaks. If you have the time, you could also do a lengthy manual analysis of your code to determine the impact. Both approaches are fundamentally flawed. With Total .NET XRef, you can instantly see the number of places a proposed change would affect, making it much easier to determine the cost of the change and determine whether or not the change is justified.

Seamless Visual Studio .NET Integration
Total .NET XRef is completely integrated into the Visual Studio .NET environment. Load the product from the Tools menu, and a dockable toolwindow is shown. To invoke Total .NET XRef, simply right-click on the definition of any name in your source code, and the toolwindow immediately lists all places that refer to that definition. The list includes where the reference is, the line and column number, and even shows you a code preview of the line. Click on the item and Total .NET XRef moves you to that item�s source file. You can sort or group the list by any field, or filter based on a condition you define. Total .NET XRef even generates HTML-formatted reports so you can print or save lists of references.
