StyleCop analyzes C# source code to enforce a set of style and consistency rules.
This extension allows analysis to be performed on any project opened in Visual Studio 2013-2017 without modifying the project.
Alternatively, the StyleCop.MSBuild NuGet package can be added to a project to allow analysis to be performed during the project build without installing any Visual Studio extensions.
This package is a successor of the classic StyleCop package, which bundled all StyleCop bits in a single MSI. It allows existing projects already using StyleCop to use modern Visual Studio versions and at least some of the recent C# language features. No major development is planned, however, and developers are encouraged to consider using something like StyleCopAnalyzers going forward.
