VS Law .NET Workstation 1.0

The VS Law .NET Workstation Add-In automates code reviews for Visual Basic .NET projects within the Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003 IDE. The code review results database for each project is presented within a dockable window known as the VS Law workbench.

From the workbench, developers can view code review results including review summary information, a list of coding violations and a variety of project source code statistics and metrics.

Using powerful grid functions, the information displayed can easily be grouped, sorted and prioritised. Developers can also drill-down through information with the ability to jump to the appropriate line of code within the IDE.
