Either I’m going mad or the Code Analysis tab in Visual Studio has disappeared

  • 0

Either I’m going mad or the Code Analysis tab in Visual Studio has disappeared (or both).

I’m using Visual Studio 2010 Premium (I know this feature isn’t in VS 2010 Professional) with Service Pack 1.

My project has a Code Contracts tab, but shouldn’t there also be a Code Analysis tab? If I select Analyze | Configure Code Analysis For [this project] from the menu, the project settings are displayed but just with whatever tab was previously selected.

If I select Analyze | Configure Code Analysis For Solution from the menu, I do get a dialog box.

Am I right in thinking there should be a Code Analysis tab for the project? Any idea what might make it not show up?

    Possible solutions:

    • Did you try:

    devenv /SafeMode

    Starts Visual Studio in safe mode, loading only the default
    environment and services.

    devenv /setup

    Forces Visual Studio to merge the resource metadata that describes
    menus, toolbars, and command groups, from all available VSPackages.

    devenv /ResetSettings

    Restores the default settings for Visual Studio and automatically
    launches its integrated development environment (IDE). Optionally
    resets the settings to the specified .vssettings file.

    devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

    Clears all options to skip loading added to VSPackages by users
    wishing to avoid loading problem VSPackages, then starts Visual
    Studio.

    • Did you notice the small “More Settings” arrow?

    Code Analysis tab

    • If all fails, you should probably uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.
