Number of lines in code [closed]

Answer 1

I believe there are tools, but I find it easier to just use the Find in Files option and use this regex:

^~(:Wh@//.+)~(:Wh@\{:Wh@)~(:Wh@\}:Wh@)~(:Wh@/#).+

That regex is from here, which also shows how to search for it. It will return a number of matching lines (i.e. the number of lines in your code)

Answer 2

In Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Ultimate, you can go to the Analyze tab and select "Calculate Code Metrics", it gives you lines of code as well as a maintainability index, cyclomatic complexity, depth of inheritance and class coupling metrics, project by project.

You can drill into namespaces and classes/interfaces as well.

Answer 3

Visual Studio does that if you use its "Code Analysis" tool.

Edit: a 10-second google search (with the terms sloc count c#) returns this Code Project article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/directorylinecounter.aspx

Answer 4

I've had good success with David Wheeler's SLOCCount. It's a command line tool, which will require Cygwin unfortunately, but I found it handled very large Java projects without fuss. C# is listed as a supported language for counting. Configuration is minimal, IIRC I just pointed it at a directory and it summarised all the type of code and broke it down in lines per language.

Highly recommended.
