FxCop: Writing Your Own Custom Rules

Jason Kresowaty designed this web site to address the shortage of documentation on the FxCop 1.36 API. Some of the highlights include the following: - A brief tutorial of FxCop - A listing of what kinds of customizations are possible with FxCop - An overview of the introspection API - How to implement custom rules - How to write the XML description resource for the custom rules - An advanced section on using FxCop to check doc comments - Example rules A tool called Introspector is also available here that lets you browse assemblies using the FxCop introspection object model. This lets you see precisely which objects are involved when you develop custom rules.
