I am working on a large scale re-factoring initiative of a software product written in C#. The re-factoring process needs to be completed in a specific time-frame that looks very aggressive to me. Due to the lack of documentation, it is too complex for me to try understanding all the code that has been written so far. I was just wondering if there is any application that could give me some quantitative information on the project so I would be able to assess the complexity and maturity of various modules. Does anyone know if there are any applications that would count for instance the number of lines of code and the number of classes within a .NET assembly? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest visiting Tech-IS’s web site (http://www.techinceptions.com). They have a code metrics application called OxyProject Metrics as a free download. OxyProject Metrics is available at the following URL: http://www.techinceptions.com/codemetrics.html. Happy holidays!
