stylecop

I'll prefix by saying that I understand that both Code Analysis and StyleCop are meant as guidelines, and many people chose to ignore these anyway. But having said that, I'd like to see what the general consensus is with regard to these two rules. Rule CA1500 says don't make parameter names and private field names the same. Rule SA1309 , on the other hand, says don't prefix members with underscore or "m_". This leaves us with little options for distinguishing private backing fields from their corresponding parameters. Take these examples. SA1309 complains: class SomeClass { int _someField;

We’ve just been working on introducing StyleCop to our team and are using the StyleCop ReSharper plugin from Code Plex. Problem is, every single file in the project appears to be getting analysed and we can’t find a way to exclude particular files. This includes files such as the designer.cs file from the DBML or third party components included in the project. What this means is your site wide code analysis in ReSharper always shows up errors and you can never get it to go “green”. There’s always the ExcludeFromStyleCop tag which you can put in the .csproj but this is only used by MSBuild.

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

Has anyone had any success with running StyleCop from TeamCity? I know StyleCop supports a command line mode, however i am not sure how this will integrate into the report output by TeamCity. I've checked out this plugin found here: https://bitbucket.org/metaman/teamcitydotnetcontrib/src/753712db5df7/stylecop/ However could not get it running. I am using TeamCity 6.5.1 (latest). I don't know how familiar you are with MSBuild, but you should be able to add a new Build Step in TC 6 and above, and set MSBuild as the build runner, and point it to a .proj file which does something similar to the

I was wondering if there is a way to copy ALL my settings from ReSharper (including the StyleCop for ReSharper settings and the keyboard bindings I have set for ReSharper) from one PC to another? Since the export option within Resharper is only for code styles, you'll need to be a bit craftier for all settings. From Peter Ritchie's blog ... ...the settings are stored in "%userprofile%\application data\jetbrains\resharper\v4.0\vs9.0". There are a couple of xml files in there that store your settings. Before you upgrade to the latest build, just copy those to another directory. It's very likely

Observations: On our Jenkins build server, we were seeing lots of msbuild.exe processes (~100) hanging around after job completion with around 20mb memory usage and 0% CPU activity. Builds using different versions of stylecop were intermittently failing: workspace\packages\StyleCop.MSBuild.4.7.41.0\tools\StyleCop.targets(109,7): error MSB4131: The "ViolationCount" parameter is not supported by the "StyleCopTask" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a gettable public instance property. Nuget.exe was intermittently exiting with the following access violation error (0x0000005)
