Live architecture dependency validation in Visual Studio “15” Preview 5
Oct 7, 2016Importer
Summary
Introduces a new 'Dependency Validation' experience in Visual Studio "15" Preview 5, re-implementing validation logic as Roslyn analyzers that work against source code. This provides live validation, precise issue identification with editor squiggles, and improved error list filtering. It also updates the authoring experience by renaming 'Layer Diagram' to 'Dependency Diagram' and improving property discoverability. The post details the migration experience for existing layer diagrams and outlines limitations in Preview 5.
