Is it possible to create a dependency graph using the architecture explorer?

VS2010 has got an option in the Architecture menu called "Create dependency graph".

It works great except it seems to be all or nothing - all solution items end up in that graph and its very slow for our large solution.

I want to create a dependenc开发者_高级运维y graph by class, whose root is only a single class that I specify.

Is it possible to create a query (DGQL) in the architecture explorer that emulates the "Create dependency graph" but where I can specify the root class?

Maybe you can use the flexibility of the tool NDepend to generate dependency graph you are asking for. Disclaimer: I am one of the developers of the tool

If your need is to visualize a graph made of types that use a class C, and then types that use these users types, and so on transitively... with NDepend you just need to ask for users types, and then export the result to a graph as explained here.

Here is a large call graph generated by NDepend (the full size version is available here):

With NDepend graph, most of your graphs operations will be instantaneous, even if you are working with a very large code base.
