This plugin is still in its early development stages, so it may suffer from some limitations.

This plugin brings the following features to C# projects in Sonar:

finding assemblies (page "Dependencies")
- Example on Nemo : http://nemo.sonarsource.org/dependencies/index?search=mscorlib
listing dependencies of a project (page "Libraries")
- Example on Nemo : http://nemo.sonarsource.org/plugins/resource/359634?page=org.sonar.plugins.design.ui.libraries.LibrariesPage
showing the dependency structure matrix (DSM) for C# code (page "Design")

Since version 2.1 this plugin also brings:

Design metrics
- Response For Class
- LCOM4 groups of methods
- Afferent and Efferent coupling
A simple architecture constraint rule engine
- This engine contains a single rule that can be duplicated.
- It is a simple copy of the sonar java architecture rule, the main difference being that simple wildcard patterns are used instead of ant style patterns.

This plugin relies on the NDeps tool.

The NDeps plugin is not executed on Web projects for the moment.

Name	Key	Default value	Description
ndeps install directory	sonar.ndeps.installDirectory		Not needed in most cases. Location of the binaries of the dependency parser tool. This tool is embedded in this sonar plugin and hence this property is not mandatory.
ndeps program timeout	sonar.ndeps.timeoutMinutes	10	Maximum number of minutes before the ndeps program will be stopped.
ndeps activation mode	sonar.ndeps.mode		Possible values : empty (means active), 'skip' and 'reuseReport'.
Name of the ndeps report files	sonar.ndeps.reports.path		Name of the ndeps report file used when reuse report mode is activated. This can be an absolute path, or a path relative to each project base directory.
Names of ignorable fields (since v2.1)	sonar.ndeps.ignorable.fields		Comma separated list of names of fields that should not be taken in account during LCOM4 analysis.
