• Visual Studio Team System Possible false positive for ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods

  I added an == operator to a class.  Its method signature is public static bool operator ==(Table table1, Table table2). FxCop throws the ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods error and asks that I check the parameters for null.  OK, so I did. if( table1 == null ||     table2 == null ) {   return false; } FxCop is now happy.  When I run my unit tests though, I get failures where the tests are throwing a StackOverflowException.  Upon further analysis, it appears that testing for null within the == operator introduces an infinite recursion situation. What is the best way to handle this ...Show All
