I want to install styleCop onto MSBuild so that it is global to all users & I can set all rules at one central place.

has anybody had experience in doing this?

Many thanks for any responses

Hi

You can check a Settings.StyleCop file into the main parent folder of your source tree, then in the StyleCop settings for the project, make sure it's set to "Merge with settings found in parent folder"

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

When I try check the Stylecop finle into the main project folder, I get the error "You must choose a directoty that's mapped".

How do I get around this?

Also, I've thus far included import statmements in the Project files for StyleCop. Do these now need to be removed?


many thanks for your answer
