[FxCop] If length of line is more than 90 words show warning

Question

Hi,

        I am new to FxCop. I am using FxCop 1.36 with VS 2010. I am trying to do custom coding standards in FxCop. I want the rule set that 'If length of line is more than 90 characters' then a warning should show in the FxCop. How can i do this as a customization rule in FxCop. Can anyone help me out. Please tell what code I write in the class library.

Thanks,

Dathy

Answer 1

You'll need to handle this through StyleCop, FxCop doesn't parse the sources.

Hi Dathy,

I agree with Jesse’s suggestion, since the FxCop analyses the binaries not the source code.

Roahn gave us some useful information about this issue, please refer:
