Code Style Enforcer is a DXCore plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 that checks the code against a configurable code standard and best practices. It is developed for C#, but some of the rules will also work for VB .NET, though not tested. The code standard is currently configurable with the following rules:
• Name rules, where it is possible to have different rules for different members, i.e. fields, constants, variables, methods, properties and so on.
• Visibility rules, where you can specify the visibility that is valid for different members. It is also possible to specify that the visibility has to be specified explicitly.
• Implementation rules, where it is possible to specify that interface implementations are to be made explicitly or implicitly.
The default rules are based on the C# Coding Standard from IDesign. It is the most complete code standard available and it is free to download.
