Welcome to the Total .NET XRef Tour

When you're knee-deep in code, it is often difficult to grasp the bigger picture of how something works (or how something should work). While Visual Studio .NET offers what is arguably the best developer IDE to date, it does not offer a way to cross reference your code.

Total .NET XRef is designed to solve this problem by providing real-time cross referencing of code. The product parses your C# and VB .NET code in the background as you work in Visual Studio .NET. At any given time, the parser has a complete "picture" of your code and all relationships between objects. By invoking the Total .NET XRef toolwindow, you have access to a list of all places in your project that refer to a specific code item.

This real-time cross referencing ability offers you a number of advantages, both as you write new code and as you plan to change existing code. The product provides the following top-level features:

  • Finds all references to code references.

  • Provides full support for C# and VB .NET code.

  • Integrates completely with Visual Studio .NET.

  • Provides a list of all items, which can be grouped, sorted, or filtered.

  • Allows the item list to be exported to an HTML page for viewing, printing, or saving.

  • Provides the total number of references to help you determine the cost of proposed code changes.

  • Written in 100% .NET code.
