Post your rules development questions here. Until then, there are several resources available to custom rules developers: Each release readme contains detailed information about porting existing rules to the latest architecture.Īs soon as the FxCop metadata and other relevant API stabilize sufficiently, we will develop an official FxCop custom rules SDK with samples demonstrating common patterns written in several languages. Rules developers who have been working in FxCop for the past few years can attest to the fact that every release has involved some churn in the custom rules API.
This work guarantees that rules written today will need to be modified or entirely re-written in the future. The primary reason is that we are currently rewriting key components of the FxCop metadata reader and data flow analysis engine.
