+{ProductShortName} UI does not trigger rules for dependencies for Gradle applications::
+When you run a `source+dependency` analysis for a Gradle application by using the {ProductFullName} user interface (UI), the tool does not trigger rules for dependencies. As a consequence, the analysis does not trigger issues on open source libraries 
+
+Note that this known issue does not affect the {ProductShortName} command-line interface (CLI).

+You can use the external `csharp` provider to run an analysis in `source-only` mode for C# source code in the {ProductFullName} command-line interface (CLI), user interface, and the {ProductShortName} Visual Studio Code extension. `csharp` parses the source code by using tree-sitter and uses stack graph for the analysis to find references to types, methods, classes, and fields. Based on the `C#` rule definition, the analyzer identifies violations in your code that you must resolve before the application migration.
