FxCop Custom Rule - Inspecting winform control pro

Question

I am looking for an example of a FxCop Rule that inspects the properties of controls created.

Has anyone seen one? Or know how to respond to a property set in the FxCop SDK?

Rich.

Answer 1

This is definitely not difficult. Just filter for types that inherit from Control and then get a list of fields (if I remember correctly).

You may be better off asking this at the http://str8.to/fxcop-forum - they are very much active and I've had pretty great support there.

Good luck!

Answer 2

My solutionwas to iterate through the instruction list provided for each member been checked.

If its was of type Microsoft.FxCop.SDK.Method then a prefix of _set identified a property set.

The only issue i have is this doesn't allow me to identify properties that have been left at the designer default values.
