Call Hierarchy of Methods

In complicated solutions, a single method may be used from several different places, and attempting to follow how a particular method is being called can be difficult. Call hierarchy attempts to address this problem by visually presenting the flow of method calls to and from the method you are looking at. In other words, you can look at what calls your method and what your method calls in a treeview format.
