I'm trying to use Microsoft.Bcl.Async and Code Analysis, but when I run Code Analysis I get one or more errors. I'm using Visual Studio 2012 with Update 2. This is easy for me to reproduce: Create a new default Console App that targets .Net 4 . Right click References then select Manage NuGet Packages... Click Online and type async into the Search Online box. You should see Async for .Net Framework 4 ... . Click Install and accept all questions. Add to Main() a line that says: TaskEx.Delay(1000); and a using System.Threading.Tasks; Go to project properties, Code Analysis section and tick Enable

Is there a tool that can automatically fix StyleCop and FxCop rules, rather than manually fixing thousands of warning and errors? There must be one, it is such a good business opportunity! No, frustratingly . That's why Style Cop is counter-productive. Consistent formatting looks nice, but there's little productivity benefit to it (what really makes code hard to read is length and indirection ). Perfect spacing is not worth spending hours adjusting lines by hand. If there were an automated tool to achieve consistent formatting, I might hook it up post-check-in. But Style Cop is made by sadists

I've got a project that uses Autofac, and the WebAPI integration We run FxCop over our solution, and on opening autofac, I get the following: The following indirectly-referenced assembly could not be found. This assembly is not required for analysis, however, without it, analysis results could be incomplete.

How is it possible to get the FxCop custom dictionary to work correctly? I have tried adding words to be recognised to the file 'CustomDictionary.xml', which is kept in the same folder as the FxCop project file. This does not seem to work, as I still get the 'Identifiers should be spelled correctly' FxCop message, even after reloading and re-running FxCop. Using version 1.36. If you use it inside Visual Studio... From Visual Studio Code Analysis Team Blog To add a custom dictionary to a C# and Visual Basic project is simple: In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project and choose Add ->

Has Stylecop superseded FXcop? Which product should we be using with Visual Studio 2008? Stylecop is a style analysis tool that works at the source code level. It exists primarily to provide a single common style that managed projects can use to remain consistent within the larger world of managed software. It makes decisions regarding style primarily to avoid holy wars (after all, style is almost always an inherently subjective thing). I don't think I've ever met someone who liked all of StyleCop's rules, but that's ok . It means that StyleCop is a generally good compromise amongst the vast
