Call hierarchy of procedures

[ArunJ]

Hello,
I am using Visual studio 2008 & my project is in VB.net
I want the call hierarchy of the procedures in the project.

I think this feature is included in the new version of Visual Studio 2010.

For current situation what in my opinion you can do is to set a breakpoint in the beginning of the Sub or Function. When your program hits the breakpoint you can see the call stack in VB.

I hope this helps you!

I am actually looking for a tool to do this since its quite a big program with a lot of functions & numerous paths to it.
call hierarchy will help me to back-track the call paths.

Hi,
Well I dont know about such tool but i would like to know why you need such kind of tool? Only for Call hierarchy? Or anything else you need to track?

Whats with code like:

if foo:
   def myfunc():
       ... do something
else:
   def myfunc():
       ... calling your_func()

A Language where the program calling hierarchie depends on runtime
calculations is not able to provide good refactoring tools or static
flow analysis. This is the huge difference to a language like
Smalltalk where we live in an image.
