Hi, We're using VS2008 with the built in static code analysis rule set. We've got a relatively large C# solution (150+ projects) and while some of the projects (< 20) are using static code analysis religiously, most are not. We want to start enforcing static code analysis on all projects, but enabling all rules would create a massive di...
