Hi Tatham,
As mentioned above in the blog
1. Created the CodeAnalysis dll, Rules.xml with sample code given in this blog for VS2010
2. Referenced the dlls
fxcopsdk.dll
fxcopcommon.dll
Microsoft.cci.dll
Microsoft.Visualstudio.Codeanalysis.dll
3. Created the test library project, ruleset
4. Executed the test library project, its throwing error

Error 2 CA0053 : Unable to load rule assembly ‘fxcopcommon.dll: The assembly contains no FxCop rules. ClassLibrary1
Error 3 CA0053 : Unable to load rule assembly ‘fxcopsdk.dll’: The assembly contains no FxCop rules. ClassLibrary1
Error 4 CA0053 : Unable to load rule assembly ‘microsoft.cci.dll’: The assembly contains no FxCop rules. ClassLibrary1
Error 5 CA0053 : Unable to load rule assembly ‘microsoft.visualstudio.codeanalysis.common.dll’: The assembly contains no FxCop rules. ClassLibrary1

I have checked the the above dlls path its coming from “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop”

Its very urgent

Hi Tatham,
Great article!
Does anybody have any idea about custom rule for measure “number methods in a class”?

Much appreciated,
Andrei.

What’s the error?

StringComparison.Ordinal is an enum value in the .NET Framework. If you’re having a compilation issue then you’re probably missing a namespace or using an old framework version.
