Add FxCop to your arsenal


FxCop is a code analysis tool that checks .NET managed code assemblies for conformance to the Microsoft .NET Framework Design Guidelines. It uses reflection, MSIL parsing, and callgraph analysis to inspect assemblies for more than 200 defects in the following areas:
* Library design
* Localization
* Naming conventions
* Performance
* Security

FxCop has over 200 rules that cover everything about your assemblies from ensuring that you use COM interop correctly, to ensuring proper globalization, to enforcing rules for writing high-performance code.

The accompanying help file contains detailed descriptions and code snippets related to the Rules. Great code fodder to chew.

It now performs analysis through a technique called Introspection.
