Style Cop
-
I started to check out StyleCop this morning. I'm not going to rant about every other rule it follows, but has anyone noticed that the file **.Designer.cs violates:
SA1201: All methods must be placed after all fields.
Windows creates this file. I think I'm done with StyleCop.
StyleCop is meant to be used on user-written source files. Do not use it on auto-generated files :-)

Is that the latest incarnation of FXCOP? Perfect tool if you want lots of criticism of perfectly valid code if so.

I never understood the need to for formatting software (I think that is what StyleCop is right?).
Not so much formatting as code styles and guidelines, like variable naming, comments, order of fields, methods etc.

No, FxCop and StyleCop are different. StyleCop analyzes your source code, whereas FxCop does static analysis on your compiled assembly. Normally you are supposed to use them together, so they complement each other.

It was recommended to me in a previous post regarding a coworker's use of under_score instead of underScore in the middle of variables. Someone recommended that I try StyleCop to settle our convention disputes.
You really don't need a tool to police that. The accepted convention is camel case for variables, so under_score is simply wrong. Suggest (s)he reads a book or something.

Oh, ok. In which case, I hate *both* of them.

How about the MS Naming Guidelines[^]??

I sometimes feel alone in this opinion, but I believe that source code readability is a very, very, close second place to code correctness. Anyone else?

That is your opinion. Microsoft begs to differ with their internal coding practices. I thought we killed this bird a few days ago.

Mine and everyone else I know - yes.

Since you like it, what's the rationale for starting just the first word with a lower case letter? Why is
customerAccountNumberbetter thanCustomerAccountNumberorstrCustomerAccountNumberorlpszCustomerAccountNumber? -

Hmmm, I always thought StyleCop was intended for the garbage can...

You can tell at a glance what you're dealing with (local/member/property etc). And if we all do things the same way it makes it easier to understand each other's code. A good thing surely.
