Is FxCop Dead? Can it be used with VS2015?

Question

I was browsing through Stack Overflow and Google for information about automatic coding style practice tools and found FxCop.

But I haven't found recent articles from Microsoft about FxCop. So, I was wondering if FxCop is dead.

Can FxCop be used with Visual Studio 2015? Will it work for enforcing C# design guidelines?

Answer 1

FxCop functionality is integrated into Visual Studio 2012 and later versions with VS Code analysis. It covers all FxCop functionality with better integration.
