FxCop Custom Rules for Custom Controls

Question

Hello,

In my project I am using custom controls instead of normal ASP.NET controls. We have build an architecture on .NET and are using its controls.

Now I need to write a custom rule to check for if some of windows controls are being used. Reason being, my team needs to be limited to only my custom controls that were designed to replace the windows controls.

Example: I need to search and if they are using System.Windows.Controls.Textbox.....I need it to be an error.

Can anyone please help me out with code?

I hope the poblem is clear ..... in case of any further clarifications needed please let me know.
