.NET Assembly analyzer without single starting assembly

Question

Various tools exist to display .NET assembly dependencies when starting from a single (entry point) assembly:

• NDepend
• .NET assembly dependency analyser
• Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
• Powershell

Is there a way to graphically display the dependencies between a set of assemblies, without a single entry point?

Answer 1

Probably the simplest way is to create a dummy assembly that references your set (and nothing else) then run these tools on that. Otherwise, any simple graphing software is going to have trouble.
