How to enable Code Analysis in Visual Studio 2010 Professional?

Question

I can see that we can enable code analysis in Visual Studio Team Systems. But i am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

Do we have any option to enable code analysis

Answer 1

You can integrate FxCop via Commandline in the post-build event of the solution.

Download FxCop 1.36 and add following command into the post-build event:

"$(ProgramFiles)\Microsoft FxCop 1.36\FxCopCmd.exe" /c /p:"$(ProjectDir)\FxCop$(ConfigurationName).FxCop" /consolexsl:"$(ProgramFiles)\Microsoft FxCop 1.36\Xml\VSConsoleOutput.xsl"

Via consolexsl parameter the output is formatted so that the output is included into you VisualStudio builderrors and -warnings.

We have created a FxCop file that specifies the rules with FxCop-Gui. That file is loaded in the command.
