On this page linked above, under the section "When to Exclude Messages", it is missing an exclusion instance that I believe should be in place. If I create a collection class and derive it from a base collection class, but want this new collection to also be a base class, then ending the collection's name with Base should be a valid exclusion reason.
Example: MyCollectionBase derives from NameObjectCollectionBase. Currently, FxCop would flag MyCollectionBase with the IdentifiersShouldHaveCorrectSuffix error.
public class MyCollectionBase : System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase
{
}
IdentifiersShouldHaveCorrectSuffix

Hi Mythran,
The documentation on GotDotNet is out of date. We're working on updating this. Until then I recommend you use msdn documentation for the Visual Studio Code Analysis. Just search in your favorite search engine on the rule name +msdn.
e.g.
IdentifiersShouldHaveCorrectSuffix +msdn should find http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms182244(VS.80).aspx
On this specific subject. Base as a suffix was something that was used in some instances of classes created in .net 1.0, before the guidelines where finalized. Currently it is recommended not to use Base as a suffix.
Regards,
Jeffrey
