StyleCop (original) (raw)

StyleCop is an open-source static code analysis tool from Microsoft that checks C# code for conformance to StyleCop's recommended coding styles and a subset of Microsoft's .NET Framework Design Guidelines. StyleCop analyses the source code, allowing it to enforce a different set of rules from FxCop (which, instead of source code, checks .NET managed code assemblies). The rules are classified into the following categories: * Documentation * Layout * Maintainability * Naming * Ordering * Readability * Spacing StyleCop was re-released as an open-source project in April 2010 on CodePlex.
