Re: FxCop does anyone use it ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We use it, and we think it is great. However, the guidelines have evolved at
the same time we developed our framework, so we find "new" warnings on old
code often when we upgrade FxCop. Internal MS code breaks many guidelines.

Despite these problems, it is a great tool. It has found many small
usability, performance, and localization problems in our API and our code in
general. We could never have complied to so many guidelines without FxCop.
You will notice that new warnings come out in bold, so they are easier to
track -- and generally more important.
