FxCop

Build runner

Select FxCop from the drop-down list.

What to inspect

Check one of the following options to specify object to inspect (either particular assemblies or a project)

Assemblies

Enter paths, relative to the Build Checkout Directory and separated by spaces, to inspected assemblies (use ant-like wildcards to select files by mask). FxCop will use default settings to inspect them. Enter exclude wildcards to refine included assemblies list.

Project

Enter the path (relative to the Build Checkout Directory) to previously prepared FxCop project from FxCop GUI

Search referenced assemblies in GAC

Search assemblies, referenced by targets, in Global Assembly Cache

Search referenced assemblies in directories

Search assemblies, referenced by targets, in specified directories separated by spaces

Ignore generated code

New option introduced in FxCop 1.36. Speeds up inspection

Report XSLT file

The path to XSLT transformation file, relative to the Build Checkout Directory or absolute on agent machine. You can use path to detected FxCop on target machine (i.e. "%system.FxCopRoot%/Xml/FxCopReport.xsl"). When Report XSLT file option is set, the build runner will apply XSLT transform to FxCop XML output and display resulting HTML to a new tab "FxCop" on the build results page.

Additional FxCopCmd options

Additional options for calling FxCopCmd executable. All options entered in this field will be added to the beginning of command line parameters

FxCop installation root

Mandatory parameter. Specify the path to the FxCop installation root on an agent machine, or a path to the FxCop executable relative to the Build Checkout Directory. Default value set to "%\system.FxCopRoot%" means that FxCop is detected automatically on agent machine.
