Microsoft Source Analysis for C# : Announcing the release of Mic. We are very excited to announce the release of a new developer tool from Microsoft, Source Analysis for C#.
This tool is known internally within Microsoft as StyleCop, and has been used for many years now to help teams enforce a common set of best practices for layout, readability, maintainability, and documentation of C# source code. StyleCop is similar in many ways to Microsoft Code Analysis (specifically FxCop), but there are some important distinctions. FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while StyleCop analyzes the source code directly. NDepend. FxCop Team Page.
