I checked it out. It is a very nice utility. Unfortunely, it doesn't appear
to be geared towards walking a VS.Net solution's dependancy tree for the
purposes of configuration management. It appears to be more geared towards
analysis via metrics of manually designated assemblies. There is a small
quantity of dependancy info(name only) but nothing provided in the way of
assembly versions. This is really the info that I'm interested in; alist of
all the solutions dependancies. Telling the tool what assemblies to analyze
is manually configured so that would be a maintanance issue as new
references where added to the project.

I think what I'm really looking for is a tool that will actively search a
VS.Net solution tree and analyze all of the contained bin folders for
assembly dependacies and list them in a report. Basically a report
representation of the dependacy lists of the projects within a solution.
This way I don't have to constantly maintain a manually updated xml file of
assemblies analyze as the solution evolves.
