How to define NDepend API CQLinq execution context in c#?

Question

When I port a NDepend CQLinq query to C# I must allways start defining a codeBase to query to, so this CQLinq query

from m in Methods
where m.ILCyclomaticComplexity > 10 
select new {m}

using NDepend API in C# I must port to:

ICodeBase codeBase

from m in codeBase.Application.Methods
where m.ILCyclomaticComplexity > 10 
select m 

I see there is a ICQLinqExecutionContext. Can I define the context for the queries so I can directly use Assemblies, Methods, JustMyCode, ...etc?

Thanks!

As explaine in the ICQLinqExecutionContext doc: This interface is reserved for CQLinq implementation usage and is not intended to be used in your code.

But as you noticed, with just a little bit of rewritten, you can access 100% of CQLinq features (like using codeBase.Application.Methods intead of just Methods)

Also by reading the CQLinq syntax doc about predefined domain, you can see that a domain like Methods in CQLinq gets translated to context.CodeBase.Methods at CQLinq post-compilation time. What you are really missing is not the interface ICQLinqExecutionContext but CQLinq post-compilation time that is not available in C#.
