• Visual Studio Team System New FXCop Versions and Visual Studio 2005 Code Analysis

  When a new version of FXCop comes out, will there be a way to update the integrated Visual Studio 2005 Code Analysis to use it Or will we have to use the standalone FXCop IDE to use newer versions I'm hoping it'll all integrate nicely, but I can't find any information about it...
