I believe the RDK installation actually installs the CFG binaries (Control-Flow-Graph.dll and Control-Flow-Graph-To-Deploy.Addin). They go under the c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\MsEnvShared\Addins\. The addin may have to be enabled in VS first, under Tools->Add-In Manager.

Once you have that deployed, you can start a new project, I believe both C# and C++/CLI work with the CFG. Build the project, and then right click on a function in the class View. A View control-flow-graph menu option should appear at the top. CLick it and the CFG should appear in a new window.

Thanks for your reply. VS does have the addin. But I cannot see control-flow-graph menu option when I click on a method such as M1. An empty window of CFG is popped up when I enable the addin? Any suggestion? Thanks again.

Hmm,

What language are you trying to view the control flow graph in? I remember the DDE model in VS being a little flaky at times (very intolerant of small errors). Is there any way you can send me the project you're trying to view the CFG with?
