I'm searching for a tool that let me generate a flow chart for a given project. It is difficult understand others code by looking at code, a flow chart can be very helpful.

My Project is in VS 2010 Professional Edition.

The Visual Studio Learning pack has a flowchart generator, but unfortunately, it only works with the 2008 editions. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/2A06FB8C-C2B1-417B-9F7D-57254D74905E

What you probably actually want are called Sequence Diagrams. They are built into VS2010.

You just right click inside a method and select “Generate the sequence diagram” from the pop up menu. sequence diagrams

I did not find Sequence diagram in professional edition, I think it is in Ultimate edition.

Yes, it is in the UE, not Professional. In the future, it would be helpful if you specified which version you are using.

Take a look at Visual Studio Power Tools. It may have something for helping you to generate Sequence Diagram/Activity Diagram or so called "flow chart".

ReSharper has a Call Tracking feature that can display incoming and outgoing calls sequenced in an interactive, graphical tree view.

It also has a similar feature for Value Tracking that displays data flows.

Get yourself Visual Paradigm for UML - it's great and is free for 30 days and you can check if it what you're looking for and decide for yourself. I bet it will suits you.

There is nothing we can do
