To get FxCop running in TeamCity, would need to follow these steps:

1. Install FxCop on the Agent (or all of agents if you have more).

   Download it here: https://fxcopinstaller.codeplex.com/

2. Edit file buildAgent.properties and add information about FxCop instalation folder.

   Add line: system.FxCopRoot=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Fxcop 10.0

3. Create the build step. It is easy now. The interesting settings are:

   Runnert Type: FxCop

   FxCop version: 10.0

   Assembiles: for example bin*.dll

   Report XSLT file: %system.FxCopRoot%/Xml/FxCopReport.xsl

   Additional FxCopCmd options: for example /ruleSet:"=%teamcity.build.workingDir%\Core\ProjectRules.ruleset". I use this to specify custom rules settings

The XML is then generated to a path which can then be found in the build log. To change the path you can use more FxCopCmd parameters, more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429449%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

Let me know if you have any questions.
