Code analysis

Question

Does anyone know where to find an explanation to the warnings in vs 2005 codeanalysis tool. I would like some documentation, explainning why it creates the warnings it does and what course of action one should take.

Answer 1

You should be able to right click the warnings it gives you in the Error List and view Error Help, right from within Visual Studio. There's also a section of MSDN articles, if you'd prefer.

Answer 2

I'm not sure which codeanalysis tool you are referring to.

If you mean FxCop, look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429379(VS.80).aspx

If you mean StyleCop, see the download here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/sourceanalysis/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1425
