StyleCop

StyleCop is a free static code analysis tool from Microsoft that checks C# code for conformance to StyleCop's recommended coding styles and a subset of Microsoft's .NET Framework Design Guidelines. StyleCop analyzes the source code, allowing it to enforce a different set of rules from FxCop. The rules are classified into the following categories:

* Documentation
* Layout
* Maintainability
* Naming
* Ordering
* Readability
* Spacing

StyleCop includes both GUI and command line versions of the tool.
