The Code Index SDK

Introduced the Code Index SDK as a component of the Visual Studio Visualization and Modeling SDK. This SDK provides MSBuild tasks for bulk indexing managed assemblies into a local SQL Server LocalDB database. The indexed data serves as a cache for querying code element information, improving performance and scalability for architecture diagrams. The post outlines scenarios for using the SDK, such as pre-indexing assemblies during nightly builds and developing in-house tools to leverage indexed data for dependency analysis and impact assessment. It also details how to obtain the SDK, including installation steps for different Visual Studio versions.
