Question

I am using FxCop and I would like to find all the methods or variables without an access modifier explicitly defined. For example:

class MyClass {    int myInt = 0;     internal MyClass()    {    } } 

I would like FxCop to warn me that I didn’t specify what access modifier will be applied to the variable ‘myInt’ or the class ‘MyClass’. Has anyone done this before, or can anyone offer guidance on where to start?

Update: Just to let everyone know, the StyleCop rule that looks for this is SA1400.

Answer 1

FxCop analyses the compiled code, which has access modifiers applied. You need to use a tool like StyleCop to detect coding syntax issues such as not explicitly declaring access modifiers.
