NDepend.Console.exe command line options

MANDATORY

The path to the input Xml NDepend project file.
It must be specified as the first argument. If you need to specify a path that contains a space character use double quotes ".. ..". Relative paths are not supported. These remarks also apply to paths provided with options /InDirs /OutDir and /XslForReport.

OPTIONAL

/ViewReport: to view the HTML report
/Silent: to disable output and eventual calls to Console.Read() on console
/XslForReport xlsFilePath: to provide your own Xsl file used to build report. The path specified must be absolute.
/InDirs dir1 [dir2 ...]: to override input dirs specified in the NDepend project file. The dirs specified must be absolute. If you use the /InDirs option, directories specified in the Xml NDepend project file are ignored.
/OutDir dir : to override the output dir specified in the NDepend project file. The dir specified must be absolute. VisualNDepend.exe won't work on the machine where you used NDepend.Console.exe with the option /OutDir because VisualNDepend.exe is not aware of the output dir specified and will try to use the output dir specified in your NDepend project file.
/EmitVisualNDependBinXml: to emit the file VisualNDepend.bin.xml VisualNDepend.bin.xml is an xml file that contains the dependencies graph of your application. It can be used for your own purpose. VisualNDepend.exe uses VisualNDepend.bin which is a GZipStream compressed version of VisualNDepend.bin.xml.
/Help: to display the current help on console
