Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate helps you gain more control over code dependencies

This post details how Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate enables control over code architecture through dependency visualization at physical (assembly, namespace, class) and logical (layer diagrams) levels. It introduces top-down and bottom-up approaches using dependency graphs and Architecture Explorer, and highlights the use of layer validation for conflict detection and incremental resolution. It also mentions the Visualization & Modeling Feature Pack for custom layer validation rules in C/C++.
