Rule to enforce XMLDocumentation

stevet@ntiwa.com — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:10:35 GMT

I would like to create a rule that enforces XML documentation. The default would be for 'Public' members, but the user should also be able to set this for others as well. I apologize if a rule already exists, but I couldn't find one in the default list.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

creating a repeatable process/ team usage

mshinder — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:52:51 GMT

I am trying to get a team of developers to use a predefined process (whatever that may be/ TBD) to validate asp.net/ c# application code so that no poor code makes its way to production.

The business is pushing FxCop for this and I want to use codeIT.right. Since I am new to this tool I have a few questions.

I like the way it integrates with VS2008 but I cannot rely on the developers to run it to ensure they are making good code.FxCop can be integrated into the pre-check-in process or the nightly build process or whatever...

how can I get codeIT.right to integrate in a developers work flow or SDLC such that it is an integral part of development/ release efforts and more importantly how can this be done in an automated fashion so not to rely on someone manually running and reporting on issues?

Creating Custom Rule

allenm84 — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 19:45:20 GMT

Hello,

I basically wanted to create a rule to help me perform localization. I need to be able to detect all literal strings. Then, I only need to flag literal strings that:

Aren't passed into an accepted method. (so, if the code is Console.WriteLine("string1"), we don't flag. But, if the code is Debug.WriteLine("string1") we do flag)

Otherwise, the string is ignored. Over time, I'd be able to change the "Accepted Method" list. I'm unsure of how to accomplish this. Here is what I've written so far:

if (element.IsMethodInfo)

{

IMethodInfo method = element.ToMethodInfo();

}

return false;

(element.IsMethodInfo)

{

IMethodInfo method = element.ToMethodInfo();

}

return false;

IMethodInfo method = element.ToMethodInfo();

}

return false;

My scope is set as "Literal". Thanks!

Problem applying Rule ID: GL00001 to Enum.ToString()

NunoGomes — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 17:10:20 GMT

Hi,

I'm doing an Enum.ToString() invocation and CIR analysis reports that I should use Enum.ToString(IFormatProvider).

The problem is that Enum.ToString(IFormatProvider) and Enum.ToString(format, IFormatProvider) are decored with Obsolete attribute and should not be used.

I thing that all Obsolete methods shouldn't be electable for this change or at least a warning should be triggered.

Execution Context:

WinXp Sp3
VS 2005
CIR 1.9.10053
SDK Version 1.1.29

Trial version expired - v1.9.10053

NunoGomes — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:33:55 GMT

Hi,

Today I just uninstall a old version of CodeIt.Right and install the last trial version (v1.9.10053).

I intended to try it more seriously but the product tells me "The evaluation period has expired".

Can you help me?

Detecting control names

todwag — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:29:31 GMT

Is there any existing way to detect control names and enforce a certain prefix on them like "ux"?

If not, what is the possiblity of adding this feature?

False positive on SharePoint attribute LinkDemand.

BruceD — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 03:22:43 GMT

The following code appears to be generating a false positive. CIR is telling me to "Add 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermissionAttribute' attributes to base method. Fully qualifying the attribute as Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermissionAttribute does not effect the outcome of the CIR analysis. This code block will pass through FxCop as is...and if removed CIR will identify the missing attribute correctly as well. But when it is added...CIR ignores the attribute tag. Running version 1.8.09300. I am running with default settings...not sure if I need to make some configuration changes.

<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel:=True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel:=True)> _
Protected Overrides Sub RenderToolPart(ByVal output As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)

End Sub

Crash in rule NA00003 "avoid language specific type names in parameter"

Cocco — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:44:39 GMT

I didn't receive answer to my e-mails, there were problems with them?

I have CodeIt.Right since a month, I started using it and I have some questions and suggestions.

A bug I saw is the following one:

I select "Rename to" for the rule NA00003 "avoid language specific type
names in parameter" and the application crashes.
The exception is the following:
************** Exception Text **************

Team Features - Shared Folder

kraeg — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:53:05 GMT

Howdy

I've just begun using CodeIt.Right and need to know if it's possible to set up a Shared Folder that is accessible from the internet?

If so, how do I go about it?

Thanks

NA00003: AvoidLanguageSpecificTypeNamesInParameters

Paulo Morgado — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:23:03 GMT

I'm getting this warning on a parameter called callbackObject and offering to rename it to callback.

Why is this a language specific type name?

Wouldn't callback trigger the same rule?

What am I missing?

Metrics Resources

MarkJerde — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:39:52 GMT

Hello. I looked in the CodeIt.Right help file, on the site and searched this forum. I didn't find any information about what the various metrics mean. Are there resources for learning about the metrics so I can make better use of this part of CodeIt.Right? Thanks.

Bug & Solution Suggestion: CodeIt.Right In Add-in Manager

MarkJerde — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:46:18 GMT

During my CodeIt.Right trial VS 2008 would crash, and crash hard, if I tried to run Altova UModel 2010 EE as an Add-in while CodeIt.Right was running. UModel could be disabled via the VS Add-in Manager so I was able to finish the CodeIt.Right trial.

It is highly sub-optimal to not be able to use UModel in VS. I never had problems with it before installing CodeIt.Right. ISTM the best solution is to have CodeIt.Right's loading controlled by the Add-in Manager. In the interim any hack is fine to not have CodeIt.Right running in VS 2008: A registry rename, moving a DLL to another folder, whatever. I don't want to do the Deinstall/Reinstall dance with CodeIt.Right unless there is no other way.

Thanks.

CodeIt.Right Trial Question

forrestb — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:23:37 GMT

Is the CodeIt.Right Enterprise Edition trial the full version of the program or are there features missing?

Control Prefixes

forrestb — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:27:57 GMT

I read a couple of forum posts about checking control prefixes, but I cant seem to get them to work. Below is my setup:

Rule: Use prefix for derived type

Scope: Any

Target: Variable, LocalConstant, Method, Event, Property, Parameter, Constant, Field

MustImplement: System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

PrefixToCheck: txt

How should I handle adding words to the dictionary?

pdohara — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:40:05 GMT

Hello,

I have a list of words I would like to add to the dictionary (so they will not come up as missspelled). Obviously I can run the spell check and then choose to add the words, but I already have a file with the words in it (and I know they are spelled correctly). Is there a way to add these words, or create a custom dictionary from them?

Thanks for your help.

Only Interface types should have "I" prefix

scwagner — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:04:13 GMT

I have some classes that are extensions of the built-in class IPAddress and therefore start with the letter I. Is there a way to easily turn off this rule for the "Interfaces start with I" portion without disabling all the other checks that this rule is simultaneously performing? Yes, I can decorate all the classes with an attribute to bypass this check, but it seems like an odd restriction to not let any class names start with an I.

Thanks!

Rules generating false positives.

dpiatt — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:08:04 GMT

In running the XMLComment rule, the following code:

    ''' <summary>
    ''' Gets the maximum line count.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <value>The maximum line count.</value>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property MaximumLineCount() As Integer Implements IMB.MaximumLineCount

results in a 'Externally visible types and members should have XML comments' Warning.

It does not happen on all members, but does for 478 of them. Most often they are MustOverride, or Interfaces, with no code associated with them, but not always. There are a few properties with valid code that are reporting this need, also.

I am using version 1.6.09151.

Thank you.

Rule to "ensure" thread safe

kkchan — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 05:50:15 GMT

Hi, Is it possible to have rule to "ensure" code is thread safe? For example, if we are accessing any static field, we should have lock statement in place. Please advice. Thank you
