  1. On my latest project I used SourceMonitor. It’s a nice free tool for code metrics analysis.
    Here is an excerpt from SourceMonitor official site:

    • Collects metrics in a fast, single pass through source files.
    • Measures metrics for source code written in C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic (VB6) or HTML.
    • Includes method and function level metrics for C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, and Delphi.
    • Saves metrics in checkpoints for comparison during software development projects.
    • Displays and prints metrics in tables and charts.
    • Operates within a standard Windows GUI or inside your scripts using XML command files.
    • Exports metrics to XML or CSV (comma-separated-value) files for further processing with other tools.
