Answer 1

Hello,

Thanks for your post!

Would you please provide us more information? Does this error happen on our assembly or the Code Analysis Engine? Would you please open the CodeAnalysisReport.xml in the \obj folder and paste the information here?

To find out the source code/source line where the error occurs, we could also debug our custom rules (if we are writing a custom rule). Please follow the steps in one of the FAQs in our blog and have a try!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Rohan,

I am using FxCop1.36 with VS2005 during PostBuild event. I am passing Post-build event command like the one which I have displayed below..

copy /y "$(TargetPath)" "C:\eComObjects"
cd "$(ProjectDir)..\..\..\Scripts\FxCopScripts\"
"runfxcop.cmd" "$(TargetPath)"

If I Build my project without using fxcop command Build got succeeded. I am using the same command for all my projects. Here I am not going to generate any CodeAnalysisReport.xml file. Only for the single project I got the above specified error.

Thanks n Regards

Hello,

Would you please specify what do you expect? If you want to launch fxcop after building, you may try this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.36\fxcop.exe" $(TargetPath)
in the Post-build event box (please modify the directory where you install FxCop)

Best regards

The Specified command "D:\UnicornLocal\Scripts\FxCopScripts\fxcop.exe" $(TargetPath) is not working properly. It is going to open FxCop GUI...Followed by VS got busy state..

Hi,

I have the same problem. I noticed the problem, after we started to introduce new generic interfaces and classes. Is it possible fxcop has a bug handling generics?

We have currently 10 projects in our solution - 6 of them can't be analyzed.

Answer 8

hi,

maybe this code snippet is helpful. I have an interface which is placed in a global project:

public interface IManager<T>
  where T : DataModel
{
  ...
  void UpdateModel<TUpdatable>(TUpdatable model)
    where TUpdatable : T, IUpdatable;
  ...
}

Please notice I am using TWO constraints - one for the class and one for the method. Another project (business.dll) is implementing the business logic and refers to this interface / assembly.

Now fxcop gives me the following error:

The following error was encountered while reading module "business.dll": Could not resolve member reference [...IManager`1<type parameter.T>::UpdateMo... (nothing more)

I am not sure, but I think I got the errors since I am using constrains.

Answer 9

I got it. It seems FxCop has a problem with explict implemented interfaces.

The following code works fine:

public void Update<TUpdatable>(TUpdatable updatable) where TUpdatable : Customer, IUpdatable
{
  throw new NotImplementedException();
}

The following code not:

public class CustomerManager : IManager<Customer>
{
  void IManager<Customer>.Update<TUpdatable>(TUpdatable updatable)
  {
    throw new NotImplementedException();
  }
}

In my solution,there were two projects,and one referenced assembly A.DLL(4.0.xxxxx),and another referenced A.DLL(5.0.xxxxx).

And then there was an error like this:CA0001:....:The following error was encountered while reading module 'xxxx':Could not resolve member reference:.....

I searched the error in google,and find one solution is to change the item AssemblyReferenceResolveMode from StrongName to StrongNameIgnoringVersion in FxCop.exe.config file.

But there was still the error when fxcop my codes.
