I have decided that I really need to get some flowcharts for reverse engineering that I have inherited. I do not have VS team version, so I can not use the team's underlying capabilities with Vizio. So I thought I would parse the NCB (Parser Information) files and make the chart with dot (graphviz.org). How hard could that be? But I can not find any documents for the inner space of that file.
I do not want to actually use the Professional application to flowcharts and I think that I am using C # or VB all assumed that free addins though, I have C and C I'm using ++.
I tried Microsoft "Visual Studio Learning Pack" which has a "visual programming flow chart" tool. But if it does not appear to work with C ++ then stop!
So, does anyone indicate to the file format or other suggestions (keep it polite!)? I do not think you have a lot of chance to be able to parse NCB files.
They are in proprietary binary format that varies and there is a possibility of a change between each version of Visual Studio. I have read from anywhere, it is possible that the NCB will be left in VS-2010 and intelligence information is being kept in the general database using SQL Server Express.
Another option that you can think of is using some other tool that analyzes your code and creates diagrams and UML charts. Doxygen does this somewhat and there is an abundance of commercial equipment which do well. I have some personal experience with Rational Daily (which can be finished from now ..) and together with a tool called some help may be
