• Amit Kumar Gupta FxCop 1.35 and static class methods

  First let me say that I really appreciate all the work done on FxCop. Its a very helpful tool.

Here are a few ideas on how this can be accomplished. 1) Provide an AddIn that gives the user a context menu for the projects so code analysis can be run. Sure, you can put it on the "Tools" menu, but that is ...Show All

• Yaniv ab Another Bug in Source Control Explorer (Beta 2)

  If I create a new top-level folder, it will not show-up until I close and reopen VS. also I am not able to (re)name it, so it always gets a default name. I can only delete the folder again.

The inability to rename is an artifact of the restriction that Team Projects cannot be renamed. The ...Show All
