code anaylsis node missing from Visual studio 2008

Question

I want to have a look at the VS code analysis tools. This msdn page suggests:

Expand the Configuration Properties node.

Expand the Code Analysis node.

Unfortnately when I expand the configuration properties node I only have the options: General, Debugging, c/C++, Linker, Manifest tool, XML Document Generator, Browse Information, Build Events and Customer Build step.

This is in a win32 console application in Visual Studio Professional Edition v 9.0.21022.8 RTM with .net framework 3.5 SP1. Any one know what I'm missing?

Answer 1

Code analysis is not part of the professional version, but only in the more expensive Team System edition. You can however use FXCop instead.

Answer 2

Try StyleCop and/or FXCop depending on what you want to analyse
