Question

does anyone know how to or can provide the syntax for running FxCop via command line.

i want to set a task to run a defined rules.fxcop file (this is a empty project that i made with only a select set of rules enabled to reduce noise and check for things i am interested in)

can someone explain how i can accomplish this…

i am guessing i would need to get latest version of the code and compile the .dll first then somehow get the fxcop project to add the dll as a target and run the analysis. then i want the violations found exported via email or saved to a directory.

ideas?

Have you tried something like the following:

fxcopcmd.exe /project:"<path to your .fxcop file>" /file:"<path to your target DLL>" /out:"<path to output report>
