Code Cross Reference with Total .NET XRef

VIENNA, VA — April 4, 2002 – FMS announces the release of Total .NET XRef, the only developer solution that instantly generates cross-reference Microsoft C# and Visual Basic .NET code using a completely integrated Microsoft Visual Studio .NET parser. By knowing and understanding all the uses of items such as classes, variables, properties, and methods, developers can use Total .NET XRef to successfully confront the challenges of understanding all parts of their Microsoft Visual Studio.NET applications. Designed exclusively for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Total .NET XRef performs real-time impact analysis to identify which objects a code change actually affects.

Completely integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Total .NET XRef’s numerous features include the following:

• Runs directly in the VS.NET IDE appearing as a tool window.

• Instantly generates a list of every reference to any name defined in code.

• Displays every line of code containing the reference along with its class name, member name, line, column, and type of reference.

• Supports C# and Visual Basic .NET code.

• As code is changed, the background parser remains current, making new search calls extremely fast.

• Reference lists can be sent to an HTML page for printing, saving or emailing at any time.

“With Total .NET XRef, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET developers can simplify their development efforts and manage more complex projects,” said Luke Chung, FMS president and founder. “Total .NET XRef is the first of our new line of Visual Studio .NET developer tools. We look forward to supporting the needs of the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET community with our innovative developer solutions.”
