使用现有Fxcop规则整合自定义Fxcop规则

Question

I have developed some Fxcop custom rule and I want to create seperate project just like 'Design Rules','Globalization Rules' etc which will contain custom rule which was designed by me and some selected existing Miscrosoft Fxcop Rules. I want to know whether it is possible to do so. If possible ,How ?

Answer 1

You would have to place the custom rule dll-file in your correct FxCop-rulelocation:

This can be C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\\Team Tools\\Static Analysis Tools\\FxCop\\Rules for example. Find your location and place it in there.

What you want to do next is create a Code Analysis Ruleset .

There is a Microsoft tutorial on creating Code Analysis Rulesets here .

To open an empty rule set file in the rule set editor On the File menu of Visual Studio, point to New and then click File. In the New File dialog box, click General in the Installed Templates list, and then select Code Analysis Rule Set. The rule set editor appears. No rules are selected in the editor list.

What you see next is the Rule Set Editor . Here you can select existing rules and also your own, custommade rules.

Working with the ruleset editor is explained here .

There is a step-by-step guide available at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/codeanalysis/archive/2010/03/26/how-to-write-custom-static-code-analysis-rules-and-integrate-them-into-visual-studio-2010.aspx for authoring rules and adding them to .ruleset files. To figure out where the problem is originating, it would be best to follow all the recommended steps, including verifying that the rule can be executed by the fxcopcmd.exe command line tool.
