Hi folks,
I'm looking for a free analysis tool that will inspect a VS2005 solution and report a list of all objects and/or methods that are uncalled from within any project in the solution.
There is a reflector add-in that will show call-graphs of a single object, but I have a very large project I want to analyse as a whole.
Anyone know of any? I don't have the time to write one

What about FxCop?

Thanks for the suggestion, Tomas.
Unfortunately, FxCop only checks uncalled private code and instantiated internal classes.
What I am looking for is a list of public methods that are unused: we have a 'closed' system with several assemblies. If an assembly has a public method that is not used by itself or any of the other assemblies in the solution, then it is redundant and I want to know about it so that I can remove it.

Whilst it's not what you're looking for ncover might be a start. In combination with unit tests it might give you a good indication of what's not called.
