Error: FxCop appears to have hung or deadlocked

Question

Hi,

We are using FxCop for Code Analysis.
When we build the project in visual studio 2008, we get the following build error saying "FxCop appears to have hung or deadlocked".

Answer 1

Are you using stand-alone FxCop or Visual Studio code analysis?  If the former, how is it being launched?

Answer 2

Hello Keval,

Would you please provide us more information about the hung/deadlock? or provide us the detailed steps to reproduce the issue? We would be very happy to provide help with more information, hope you could understand.

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, I got same error message while build a project in Visual Studio 2005. 

My Scenario: I'm trying to develop an application where user login by swipe a finger on embedded biometric device. I use classes from Microsoft.PointOfService namespace by adding its reference into project solution. 

After receiving an error ask to create an instance of the device, I created the device instance as shown in below code-block:

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

PosExplorer DevExplore = new PosExplorer(this);

Device myBioDev = new Device("Biometric", "", "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\drivers\\tcusb.sys");

myBio = (Biometrics) DevExplore.CreateInstance(DevExplore.GetDevice(myBioDev.DevicePath));

...
}

However, if I try to build my project, it took about 2 minutes to respond and give following error messages:
- CA0503 : Additional code analysis warnings or errors cannot be displayed
- CA0001 : FxCop appears to have hung or deadlocked.

Any contribution will be much appreciated.

N.B:
- I didn't use FxCop intentionally (as for the case of Keval) because I didn't even know it
- The device-path (C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\drivers\\tcusb.sys) is a path where my touch-chip driver is installed.
