SolidSX extracts software structure, dependencies, metrics from .NET assemblies and source code and visualizes them using high-quality OpenGL graphics.
Get Started

Solid Software Xplorer (SolidSX) is a tool for browsing, analyzing, and understanding large software systems written in any of the .NET languages. SolidSX creates high-quality, animated, visualizations that simultaneously shows the structure, dependencies, metrics on all types of source code elements (classes, methods, fields, etc.). By using hardware-accelerated graphics, SolidSX is able to display large amounts of information in a clear and concise manner and provides fast and easy exploration through large source codes.

Features:

  • Extracts and visualizes call graphs, class inheritance, type usage, field accesses and various code metrics, such as method complexity and number of casts.
  • Extracts information from .NET assemblies (.exe, .dll), and supports all of the .NET languages, such as C#, Visual Basic, and managed Visual C++.
  • The source code is not needed for importing .NET assemblies, so SolidSX can also be used to inspect third-party assemblies (like .NET Reflector).
  • Acts as a stand-alone Windows application, but can also integrate into Microsoft Visual Studio. By integrating into Visual Studio, you can navigate between source code and visualization with the click of a button. (Requires Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition or higher)
  • Extremely easy to use: point and click in a simple interface. Ready to use in less than 5 minutes (including installing).
  • Explore large databases of thousands of elements in real time, from packages to individual variables.
  • Hardware-accelerated graphics and animation for high quality presentation and smooth navigation.
  • Can also be used to create high-resolution images of your software that can be used in presentations, posters, and print.
