Introducing Code Map in Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 CTP
Oct 26, 2012Charles Sterling
Summary
Introduces Code Map functionality in Visual Studio 2012 CTP for September. Code Map leverages the dgml format and allows users to visualize code, methods, and variables directly from the context menu. It is interactive, allowing navigation via F12 (Go To Definition), and updates dynamically as items are added, showing relationships and dependencies. The feature is context-specific based on cursor position.
