How to make a "Call stack diagram"

Question

Creating a call stack diagram

We have just recently been thrown into a big project that requires us to get into the code (duh).

We are using different methods to get acquainted with it, breakpoints etc. However we found that one method is to make a call tree of the application, what is the easiest /fastest way to do this?

By code? Plugins? Manually?

The project is a C# Windows application.

With the static analyzer NDepend, you can obtain a static method call graph, like the one below. Disclaimer: I am one of the developers of the tool

For that you just need to export to the graph the result of a CQLinq code query:

Such a code query, can be generated actually for any method, thanks to the right-click menu illustrated below.
