Showing the Hierarchy of Method Calls
Visual Studio 2015 offers a window named Call Hierarchy. As its name implies, Call Hierarchy enables you to see the hierarchy of calls to one or more methods. To understand how it works, consider the following code:
Module Module1 Sub Main() DoSomething() End Sub Sub DoSomething() DoSomethingElse() End Sub Sub DoSomethingElse() DoNothing() End Sub Sub DoNothing() ' End SubEnd Module
This code defines some method, without performing any particular tasks, but it demonstrates a nested hierarchy of method calls. If you right-click the name of one of the methods and then select View Call Hierarchy from the context menu, you can see the method call hierarchy, as shown in Figure 2.40.
