We’ve got a rather large VB code base at FinRad, at least some of which we would like to migrate to C# in the nearish future. Because of this, we have created several custom rules that are intended to detect issues in VB code that would cause problems when migrating the code to C#. However, while attempting to assign categories for those custom rules, we quickly realized that each of them had merits besides portability of the code base, and that we wanted our assemblies to abide by these rules regardless of whether or not they might eventually be ported … Continue reading Some FxCop rules for VB
