View workflow in VS 2010

Question

I want to see the functions called one after another when I click on any web page. Obviously, I have code running on my local machine. I used Visual Studio 2010 for development. Is there a tool for this where I can see which function calls another in VS 2010, besides using breakpoints?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but it's worth a look.

If you right-click on the method name in the code window and select View Call Hierarchy (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + T), it will display the Call Hierarchy window (Ctrl + W, K) with the selected method as the root. This will allow you to view calls and calls from the selected method.

This is a tree view, and by expanding the required nodes, you can work out as far from the call hierarchy as you need.

Answer 2

Runtime Flow (developed by me) can do this. To control ASP.NET, you will need to use an individual launch, as described in a quick start.
