FXCop Custom Rule does not show up in RuleSet

Question

I followed the steps here to create a new custom rule and add it to the ruleset in VSStudio 2013:

http://blog.tatham.oddie.com.au/2010/01/06/custom-code-analysis-rules-in-vs2010-and-how-to-make-them-run-in-fxcop-and-vs2008-too/

However, despite all my efforts, the custom rule does not show up in the ruleset file.

If I add the rule in the FXCop Editor, it shows up and analyzes the target project correctly.

This is the Rule File, which is an embedded resource in the project:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Rules FriendlyName="PSI Custom FxCop Rules">
<Rule TypeName="EnforceHungarianNotation" Category="PSIRules" CheckId="CR0001">
<Name>Enforce Hungarian Notation</Name>
<Description>Checks fields for compliance with Hungarian notation.</Description>
<Resolution>Field {0} is not in Hungarian notation. Field name should be prefixed with '{1}'.</Resolution>
<MessageLevel Certainty="100">Error</MessageLevel>
<FixCategories>Breaking</FixCategories>
<Url />
<Owner />
<Email />
</Rule>
</Rules>

This is my RuleSet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RuleSet Name="New Rule Set" Description=" " ToolsVersion="10.0">
         <RuleHintPaths>       
             <Path>C:\App\PSI\Development\Source\JHA.ProfitStars.PSI\JHA.ProfitStars  
                   .PSI.FxCop\bin\Debug</Path>
         </RuleHintPaths>
    </RuleSet>

I even tried adding the line below, but now it shows an Unknown rule in the ruleset:

    <Rules AnalyzerId="Microsoft.Analyzers.ManagedCodeAnalysis"  
         RuleNamespace="Microsoft.Rules.Managed">
         <Rule Id="CR0001" Action="Error" />
    </Rules>

Could someone please help me understand what I am doing wrong here?

Edited:

BaseClass for rules:

internal abstract class BaseFxCopRule : BaseIntrospectionRule
{
    protected BaseFxCopRule(string ruleName)
        : base(ruleName, "JHA.ProfitStars.PSI.FxCop.Rules", typeof(BaseFxCopRule).Assembly)
    { }
}

Rules Class:

internal sealed class EnforceHungarianNotation : BaseFxCopRule
{
    public EnforceHungarianNotation()
        : base("EnforceHungarianNotation")
    { 
    }

    public override TargetVisibilities TargetVisibility
    {
        get
        {
            return TargetVisibilities.NotExternallyVisible;
        }
    }

    public override ProblemCollection Check(Member member)
    {
        Field field = member as Field;
        if (field == null)
        {
            // This rule only applies to fields.
            // Return a null ProblemCollection so no violations are reported for this member.
            return null;
        }

        if (field.IsStatic)
        {
            CheckFieldName(field, s_staticFieldPrefix);
        }
        else
        {
            CheckFieldName(field, s_nonStaticFieldPrefix);
        }

        // By default the Problems collection is empty so no violations will be reported
        // unless CheckFieldName found and added a problem.
        return Problems;
    }
    private const string s_staticFieldPrefix = "s_";
    private const string s_nonStaticFieldPrefix = "m_";

    private void CheckFieldName(Field field, string expectedPrefix)
    {
        if (!field.Name.Name.StartsWith(expectedPrefix, StringComparison.Ordinal))
        {
            Resolution resolution = GetResolution(
              field,  // Field {0} is not in Hungarian notation.
              expectedPrefix  // Field name should be prefixed with {1}.
              );
            Problem problem = new Problem(resolution);
            Problems.Add(problem);
        }
    }
}

Looks like your path is kind of shaky, remove some spacing and unwanted characters:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RuleSet Name="New Rule Set" Description=" " ToolsVersion="10.0">
     <RuleHintPaths>       
         <Path>C:\App\PSI\Development\Source\JHA.ProfitStars.PSI\JHA.ProfitStars.PSI.FxCop\bin\Debug</Path>
     </RuleHintPaths>
</RuleSet>

Also adding the rulesdll to Microsoft Visual Studio [Version]\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop\Ruleslocation would solve the issue of having to use Rulehintpaths.

As I can't detect anything wrong with your custom rules, see if you have selected the option to show all rules:

Also, using the following BaseRule might help:

protected BaseRule(string name)
        : base(

            // The name of the rule (must match exactly to an entry
            // in the manifest XML)
            name,

            // The name of the manifest XML file, qualified with the
            // namespace and missing the extension
            typeof(BaseRule).Assembly.GetName().Name + ".Rules",

            // The assembly to find the manifest XML in
            typeof(BaseRule).Assembly)
    {
    }
