How to add rule to User Profile

Some of the rules included with CodeIt.Right are not part of the built-in profile as are not part of the Microsoft Guidelines and yet they often come very handy especially when you choose to use a standard other than recommended by Microsoft.

This post covers step-by-step how to add a rule to custom user profile. In this walk-through we will add rule "Replace identifier prefix" (ReplaceIdentifierPrefix) [Naming] and configure it to replace the old style "m_" variable prefix with the new .NET style "_" (underscore). This is very convenient when move existing old style project to the .NET naming conventions.

Open Profile Editor
Make sure you are not using built-in profile -> see How to create own Profile
Click the Add Rule toolbar button
Find and select the "Replace identifier prefix" in the list and click OK
Enter name for the new rule (we will use "Replace "m_" with "_" is"), set PrefixToCheck parameter to "m_" and PrefixToReplace to "_", choose Targets (using only the targets that are applicable to the rule allows for better analysis performance) and click Save
New rule "Replace "m_" with "_" is" is part of your profile now.
