C# - Disable Dynamic Keyword

Question

Is there any way to disable the use of the "dynamic" keyword in .net 4?

I thought the Code Analysis feature of VS2010 might have a rule to fail the build if the dynamic keyword is used but I couldn't fine one.

Answer 1

It's part of the C# 4.0 language, so no not really.

You can use FXCop to look for it though and fail the build if it encounters it.

Style cop might work instead:

Here is a link talking about the same issue and how style cop might be the answer. There is also a post about how to get FX cop to potentially look for the dynamic keyword, although it's not perfect.
