Here is my ideal solution: a free tool that reads a .csporj or .sln and generates a pretty picture that shows all the objects and how they are related. By relationships, I don't mean inheritance but rather dependency. For example, if we have a Car object and Car has a member variable Wheel, I would like that Car depends on Wheel to be visualized in the graph.

I know visual studio can do inheritance graphs, but that is only half of what I am looking for.

Is what I am looking for possible? Are there any tools that do something similar?

Just found this answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/997798/c-class-object-visualisation-software, and I think it answers this question as well.

Sounds like what you are looking for is a UML modeler that will reverse engineer from your code to product a class diagram.

Sorry but I don't know of any free ones that will do this for you. I use Sparx System Enterprise Architect at the office to do this (it's fairly cheap) when I need something along these lines.
